Jeff Helper speaks on a new initiative, the joint work of 90 some Palestinians and Israeli Jews.A plan for one democratic state of Arabs and Jews in historic Palestine. There is effectively only one State already. That was the Zionist plan from the beginning of their colonial settler, religious nationalist project. But there are other facts on the ground, beside the illegally built Jewish only settlements built on Palestinian land; 6,000,000 Palestinians who have resisted the genocidal practices of the Israeli State
Israel is a world leader in the technology of repression. It is exporting that technology to other countries, who seek to suppress their own popular opposition to neoliberal programs and dictatorial governance. Halper speaks briefly of that and of his new book on the topic in as much as Israel is training U.S. police departments whose militarization and heavy handed response to protest was visible in Ferguson, Missouri following the police murder of Michael Brown and the revelations of widespread racist and criminal practice of police and city officials in dealing with the majority black population of Ferguson.
