TWIP-250511

The US has long turned a blind eye to the killings in Gaza and across Palestine. While global awareness of Israel’s crimes grows, the US and European governments continue to defend Israel’s so-called "right to self-defense," fueling outrage among people worldwide. Social media, news reports, and even some governments have amplified the outcry—this genocide can no longer be concealed by silence. Sooner or later, accountability will come. Presidents and politicians who refused to hold Israel responsible will face scrutiny. Their legacies will crumble, condemned to the dustbin of history. They will be remembered as cowards, complicit in genocide. The story of Hind Rajab, a young girl whose tragic fate reached millions, remains unresolved—a year later, justice has not been served. Yet hers is just one of over 50,000 stories waiting to be told since the brutal assault on Gaza began. And beyond this, there are millions more untold since 1948. The world will not forget.

Dr. Jane M. Healy - "Children Versus Television"

Endangered Minds & Failure to Connect It used to be that children would play with objects, be told or read stories, or perhaps listen to the radio during a significant portion of their early years. With the advent of television, videos and computers, that tactile and oral world is often left behind. Children who are frequently exposed to television, videos and computer games in the first seven years of life have been found to develop pathways in the brain that later are significantly deficient in reading, studying and socialization skills. Dr. Jane M Healy is an educational psychologist with expertise in developmental psychology, and specialist in the brain development of young children. Her recent books, “Endangered Minds,” and “Failure to Connect,” discuss how television, videos and computers affect the minds of children. Dr. Jane M. Healy recommends “The Goddess in Older Women,” by Jean Bolden. Originally Broadcast: May 9, 2001

Trump in Panic: Yemen Sinks a U.S. Fighter Jet

The shocking status of U.S. military power has been exposed by Yemen forcing an F-18 to sink off the USS Harry Truman to the bottom of the Red Sea. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson and former Chief of Staff Col. Lawrence Wilkerson call this the crisis facing America's waning empire - and here are their comments - recorded on April 30. Only four days later their discussion another incident confirmed their analysis: The NY Times reported on May 4 that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen struck near the main terminal of Israel’s international Ben Gurion Airport close to Tel Aviv, after the military failed to intercept the projectile. These strikes on shipping and occasional hits inside Israel come in response to the most recent daily bombings of Yemen by the U.S., Israel and Britain that began on March 15, 2025. The host Danny Haiphong is an activist, writer, and political analyst. He produces videos on geopolitics that are posted on YouTube. His articles have appeared in Black Agenda Report, MintPressNews and Counterpunch. He is best known for his podcasts on geopolitics. You can watch the full 96 minute video on YouTube.
