DiEM TV: David Adler and Arturo Desimone in conversation with Norman Finkelstein and Mouin Rabbani 

The panel discusses the eternally complex and volatile questions underscoring many events in the Middle East, particularly the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, plus anti-semitism, a concept that has now expanded to encompass any criticism of Israel. All of this, and the logic behind Israeli apartheid.

Israel doesn't have an army willing to fight and take casualties. Thus, the Israeli Army is no longer a true fighting force.... Increasingly relying on wars by remote control, or from the air, the IDF is the most cowardly army on this God's earth. —Norman Solomon

DiEM25

After the ceasefire on recent violence that dominated the world's attention in May, following evictions and attacks in the zone of the Jerusalem Al Aqsa Mosque, signs of rising tensions have flared up again: Israeli nationalists announce a coming "flag march" in Jerusalem, while Hamas leaders vow to defend holy sites. What can the watching world do, to change the face of Israeli-Palestinian permanent-seeming conflict? Reaching beyond headlines and hashtags to explore these and other questions, we bring on distinguished guests – forensic scholar and political scientist Norman Finkelstein, and his sometimes co-author, Mouin Rabbani, co-editor of the Arab studies platform Jadaliyya.com. How can a movement like DiEM25 in Europe, interpret this conflict towards real change? Arturo Desimone, a writer and visual artist, joined DiEM25 in 2018 to co-found the first internal group dedicated to foreign policy. He is the author of three books of poetry, appearing in various editions in the UK, Peru, Argentina and Spain, including "Cartas a Carlos Marx" and "La Amada de Túnez". His articles on politics have appeared in DiEM25 news, CounterPunch, OpenDemocracy, El País Digital and elsewhere. David Adler is a writer, researcher, and policy analyst. He's DiEM25's Liaison with the Progressive International, and the General Coordinator of the Progressive International. Writer, researcher, and policy analyst.

If you find the above useful, pass it on! Become an "influence multiplier"! 

Since the overpaid corporate media whores will never risk their careers to report the truth, the world must rely on citizen journalists to provide the facts that explain reality.  In this ridiculously uneven struggle between people's voices like Caitlin Johnstone, Jonathan Cook, Jimmy Dore, Lee Camp, Glenn Greenwald, Abby Martin, Jeff Brown, Godfree Roberts, the Grayzone team, the folks at Consortium News, and others of equally impressive merit, and the capitalist system's Orwellian media machine, our role must always be to help distribute far and wide what these journalists produce—to act as "influence multipliers". There's power in numbers, power that the enemy cannot hope to match.  Put it to use by becoming an influence multiplier. Repost this material anywhere you can. Send it to your friends and kin. Discuss it with your workmates. Liberation from this infernal and mendacious system is in your hands.
