Israel is Protected by a Wall of Arab Rulers – Dr Azzam Tamimi

The events in Gaza, the horrific slaughter of over 20,000 Gazans remains a deep wound all people of conscience have had to contend with over the past two months. The callous way with which the lives of young innocents can be so openly calculated and traded is shocking yet predictable in equal measure. Much of what has happened is premised on a set of collective myths the west has attempted to perpetuate about Israel and its intentions. A compliant media and a political class that have provided a thin veneer of acceptability to Israel’s murderous rampage has all but shattered the myth that the west holds the moral high ground. Today we want to explore the myths that surround the current crisis. To help us understand the situation better we invite back onto the show Dr Azzam Tamimi who is a Palestinian British academic, author of Hamas the unwritten chapter.
