The Dirty War on Syria - Conversations with Stephen Lendman and Tim Anderson.
April 15, 2016, 1:51 p.m.
Wednesday April 13th, the Syrian people in unprecedented numbers went to the polls and cast their ballots in 7000 polling stations in the 13 provinces the Assad government controls. Turm-out was so high that polls stayed open 5 hours longer to accommodate everyone wishing to vote. . According to figures tabulated by Syria's Higher Judicial Committee for Elections, 11,341 candidates contested the election.
These elections however are taking place at the same time as the first round of Geneva based peace talks thereby contradicting and complicating a timetable for political transition insisted upon by the US. As a result a number of Western powers, most notably Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States have been rejecting the election results as illegitimate.
ON this week's Global Research News Hour we speak with author and award-winning Independent journalist Stephen Lendman about the distorted media coverage of the Syria conflict. We also hear from scholar Tim Anderson, the author of The Dirty War On Syria who was in Damascus at the time of the elections, about the elections, the ceasefire and peace talks and the broader geopolitics in play.

BDS update, Israel's intrusion in the Negev, the AIPAC conference, and more
April 14, 2016, 3:53 p.m.
We start with an encouraging report of successes of the BDS campaign. A variety of corporations doing business with Israel have decided to take it elsewhere, including G4S and Veolia. A leading France-based Israeli businessman recently told the Israeli media that the growing strength of the BDS movement means that most major European companies now avoid investing in Israel.
Our feature presentation is by Nadia Ben Youssef, the US representative of the Human Rights organization and legal center, Adalah. Adalah means justice in Arabic and is based in Haifa. She speaks about the attempts by Adalah to save a Bedouin village in the Negev of Israel, a village named Um Al-Harran, which has been in existence since the early 1950âs. Now Israel has decided to level Um Al Harran to build a much larger, exclusively Jewish town that will be named just Harran. The Negev is huge and mostly unpopulated, yet Israel continues itâs purging of Bedouin villages by choosing this particular site for a new Jewish town, rather than building on much available vacant space.
Nadia gave this presentation at Tufts University. She is introduced by Tufts anthropology professor, Amahl Bishara.
Finally, we hear a quick interview of an amazing Palestinian journalist, author, and playwrite, Rula Jebreal, conducted by Max Blumenthal. Rula speaks about the AIPAC Conference, the Arab Spring, and the bias of the US media.

Gaza From the Inside: Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis
April 13, 2016, 12:13 p.m.
Dr. Wajjeh Abu Zarefah is a Palestinian journalist for NBC News based in Gaza. He has also reported for other news organizations, including ABC Australia and Franceâs TF1. He lectures in two universities in Gaza and has been a resident fellow at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. He
departed Chicago for Gaza in mid May.
Maureen Clare Murphy is the Chicago-based managing editor of the Electronic Intifada website and the author of many articles on the critical situation in Gaza. Her writing appears in the anthology Gaza Unsilenced, published by Just World Books.
Both speakers represent informed voices on the situation in Gaza. Dr. Abu Zarefah speaks from his multiple roles: husband and father to twin boys, journalist for NBC, repeatedly targeted by Israeli missiles and university academic, specializing in political analysis. He recounts daily life experiences: contemplating college for his sons, cooking over wood fire because cooking gas is not to be found, the uncertainty of access to drinking water and how their lives are ruled by a lack of electricity. Social, cultural and commercial life are badly effected by the destruction of Gaza's infrastructure and Israel's interference with recovery. Children and adults suffer from PTSD following the viciousness of Israeli aggression. The Israeli 8 year blockade created extreme shortages of the most basic items but following Israel's most recent attack's intentional destruction of Gaza's electrical plant, factories, farms, dairies, drinking water system, sewer treatment plant and hospitals during the 51 day attack that Israel initiated on July 8, 2014, Gaza will soon be uninhabitable according to the UN. He calls for an end to the occupation and the return of some normalcy to their lives. He screened several video clips. One, an aerial view of a marathon run through Gaza's urban landscape which a few months later the Israelis reduced to unrecognizable rubble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbSk5KEXtQw
The other, an Israeli video clip, shows Israeli tanks firing high explosive shells into a civilian community, reducing it to rubble. That clip is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oDxVsIUJXQ
