Max Blumenthal, author and journalist who is best known for his seminal work exposing and exploding the Zionist myths which drive our politics in this country, sits down with longtime progressive radio host Thom Hartmann to talk about his extensive experiences in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.
Max Blumenthal is a senior writer for AlterNet, and the award-winning author of Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel (2013). His most recent book is The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza (2015), which details Israel's ground offensive against Gaza in the summer of 2014, leaving more than 2,200 dead.
Thom Hartmann is the four-time Project Censored Award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of 23 books currently in print in over a dozen languages on five continents.
The initial theme of their conversation is the legacy of colonialism, and specifically settler colonialism, not a new phenomenon but one which is hurting Palestinians daily.
Here are Max Blumenthal and Thom Hartmann in conversation.
