9/6/22 Ramzy Baroud on the Deliberate Misrepresentation of Palestinians and the Siege of Gaza
Scott interviews Ramzy Baroud about two articles he wrote recently for Antiwar.com. The first examines the media’s role in distorting the truth about Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory. Scott and Baroud get specific, looking at how the subjugation is often falsely framed as a conflict where both sides are on equal footing. Next, they look at how the current situation in Gaza came about, which Baroud describes as a literal siege right out of the middle ages.
Discussed on the show:
- “Deliberate Misrepresentation: Western Media Bias Makes Israeli War on Palestinians Possible” (Antiwar.com)
- Our Vision For Liberation by Ramzy Baroud
- “15 Years of Failed Experiments: Myths and Facts About the Israeli Siege on Gaza” (Antiwar.com)
- “The Gaza Bombshell” (Vanity Fair)
Ramzy Baroud is a US-Arab journalist and is the editor-in-chief of the Palestine Chronicle. He is the author of My Father Was A Freedom Fighter: The Untold Story of Gaza and The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story, These Chains Will Be Broken: Palestinian Stories of Struggle and Defiance in Israeli Prisons, and more. His new book is Our Vision For Liberation. Follow Ramzy on Twitter @RamzyBaroud and read his work at RamzyBaroud.net.

Becky Akers, columnist at Lewrockwell.com, discusses her blog post “Déjà Vu for the Tenth Time This Year” about the repeated arrests of TSA screeners who can’t keep their hands off kids; how government agents are empowered to essentially molest children and view pornography in their official capacities, but arrested for doing the same things outside work; what a private security alternative to the TSA would look like; the long history of government influence in the US airline industry; and why a government powerful enough to persecute minorities will eventually subjugate everyone else too.

11/01/11 – James Ostrowski – The Scott Horton Show
James Ostrowski discusses why Ron Paul’s electoral chances are much better than four years ago, thanks to his grassroots support and the clownish field of Republican primary candidates; how Rick Perry’s penchant for shooting himself in the foot could narrow the field down to “plastic man” Mitt Romney and Paul; the politics of fear and bigotry in the Republican Party; Herman Cain’s dubious credentials as a Tea Party candidate; and why the 2012 general election is “Ron Paul or not at all” for voters who see America as perilously close to failing as a country.

10/31/11 – Charles Goyette – The Scott Horton Show
Charles Goyette, former Antiwar Radio host and author of the upcoming new book Red and Blue and Broke All Over: Restoring America’s Free Economy, discusses why America’s economic and political problems can’t be solved until the red-blue paradigm is rejected; irreconcilable economic headlines where consumer spending is up while income drops – and nobody asks why; why the demand (Keynes) and supply-siders (Friedman) are two sides of the same government monetary intervention coin; a summary of the global debt crisis and European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF); the other PIIGS countries teetering on insolvency while Greek rescue plans founder; how “military Keynesianism” has bankrupted the US; the intertwined fates of US empire and the dollar; and why Americans prefer a stern father-figure for president, even one as clueless as Herman Cain.
