Dave DeCamp was back on Antiwar Radio this week to discuss what’s going on in Gaza. They started with the explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that kicked off protests around the region, despite debate over the cause. They then took a step back and talked about the broader geopolitical forces at work before finishing with a quick mention of Biden’s provocative policy towards North Korea. 

Discussed on the show:

• “The Plan to Wipe Out Hamas” (Seymour Hersh)
