Actions speak louder than words, so journalists should conclude that Israel’s war on Gaza is proceeding exactly as the US President Joe Biden administration likes, argues Jeremy Scahill, one of the co-founders of the independent news website, The Intercept.
Scahill tells host Steve Clemons that the US offers political, legal, diplomatic and military support for Israel’s scorched-earth campaign, while some officials have voiced concern for Palestinian lives.
Scahill argues that even if Hamas did not exist, Israel would face armed resistance because, over the decades, Palestinians have been sent the message that diplomacy will not work and Israel will not treat them as human beings.
