5/20/21 Daniel Larison on Israel’s De Facto Annexation of Palestine
Daniel Larison talks Israel-Palestine. He takes on the common straw man argument that Israel “has a right to defend itself” from the belligerence of its neighbors. In the abstract, of course, every sovereign nation should have the right to self-defense; the problem is that this argument doesn’t take any of the history of the conflict into account. The Hamas rocket attacks, Larison explains, have been a response to raids on the al-Aqsa Mosque, which were themselves a reaction to Palestinian protests in solidarity with victims of Israeli settlements. And besides, Israel only pretends that the Palestinians are “their neighbors” when there’s fighting—the rest of the time Palestine is just territory that in fact is being occupied by the Israeli government. We should always be wary of simply condemning one side, especially when one side is so consistently mischaracterized in the mainstream media.
Discussed on the show:
- “Gaza Lives Erased: Israel Is Wiping Out Entire Palestinian Families on Purpose” (Haaretz)

Ron Paul is correct that groups who engage in suicide terrorism can only recruit in the name of fighting against foreign occupation — rather than devotion to any religion, promises of virgins in Heaven or a plot to take over the world — and why our government’s denial of this fact and its policy of regime change puts Americans in greater danger.
