Israel has killed at least 22,600 people in Gaza and 57,910 have been wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, since early October. Thousands more are feared dead under the rubble left behind by airstrikes. In Israel, the death toll from Hamas’ attack stands at 1,139.
Today we start on the latest events, Israel’s expansion of warfare into Lebanon and more broadly in the region, and analysis of US media coverage of the bombardments, with guest Rami Khouri, a Distinguished Public Policy Fellow at the American University of Beirut, and a journalist and author with 50 years of experience covering the Middle East.
Then, we discuss Israel’s Pinkwashing and Purplewashing campaigns, in conversation with Yaffa A.S., the Executive Director of the Muslim Alliance for Sexual & Gender Diversity. Yaffa is a trans Muslim and displaced Indigenous Palestinian.
