Watch entire broadcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX4crtU6OT0 Video and witness accounts recently published by Israeli media reveal new details about how Israeli forces killed their own civilians on 7 October. On today’s livestream, we take a look at a new investigation published by The Electronic Intifada. We reveal how an Israeli general ordered tanks to fire on a house with Israeli civilians in it that day in Kibbutz Be’eri and then tried to cover the incident up with a fake story of heroism. Now relatives of those he killed are demanding the truth. That general, Barak Hiram, also appears to have originated one of the most poisonous fabrications Israel told about 7 October: The atrocity tale that Hamas fighters tied up and executed children in cold blood. That lie, told directly to President Biden by Benjamin Netanyahu, helped lay the ground for genocide. Nora Barrows-Friedman will give us an update on the situation in Gaza, where Israel’s unrelenting genocide continues to take an horrific toll. And Jon Elmer walks us through the latest videos that help us understand the fighting and resistance on the ground. I hope you’ll be there as we discuss all the latest developments.

Watch entire livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIcRCyRYWYY On Friday, Gaza was completely disconnected from the outside world after all communications were cut off. There was a total blackout of the internet and phone network within Gaza as well, affecting everyone including emergency services and humanitarian workers. This came as Israel intensified its aerial extermination campaign and launched bigger ground raids into the besieged territory. Connectivity began to return on Sunday revealing to the world more of Israel's atrocities and destruction. The death toll has now passed 8,000.

On episode 82, we take a close look at the US Visa Waiver program and are joined by Abed Ayoub and Chris Habiby of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).

What would Israel’s admission to the program mean, especially for Palestinian Americans whom Israel regularly subjects to racial profiling and deportation at points of entry?
