We start our recurring Monday Palestine coverage discussing the latest news from the region with Phyllis Bennis, a Middle East analyst who directs the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies. Her book Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: A Primer was recently re-published in its 7th edition.
Then, we explore the greenhouse gas emission implications of Israel’s attacks on Gaza, in conversation with two of the academic researchers who published a paper entitled “A Multitemporal Snapshot of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Israel-Gaza Conflict”. Our guests are Patrick Bigger and Benjamin Neimark. Patrick Bigger is the Research Director at the Climate and Community Project (CCP). His academic research focuses on the creation and regulation of new financial mechanisms by governments, financiers, and NGOs that try to reconcile capitalism’s environmental and economic contradictions. Benjamin Neimark is a human geographer, political ecologist, and professor at Queen Mary University of London, whose current research looks at the US military as a global climate actor and, more broadly, the environment footprints of the world’s militaries.
