Other Voices Tv Confronting Settlement Expansion In East Jerusalem
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:23:11 04/10/10
A conversation with Joel Beinin, Professor of Middle East History, Stanford University In a rare public dispute, the United States and Israel have seemingly squared off over the issue of Israel's ever-expanding settlements. When Vice-President Joe Biden visited Israel recently, he was greeted with an Israeli announcement of 1600 new units to be built in East Jerusalem, an area seized by Israel in the 1967 war, setting off a series of diplomatic barbs from both sides. Meanwhile, out of sight of the headlines, a Palestinian movement to non-violently resist Israeli settlement-building has been steadily growing, in East Jerusalem and elsewhere in Palestine. On this month's broadcast, we delve into the question of Israeli settlements and the responses they are evoking, both officially from Washington and more personally from ordinary Palestinians. Our guest, Joel Beinin, visited the area in December and has been reporting on the Palestinian non-violent resistance movement. (See "Confronting Settlement Expansion in East Jerusalem" at the Middle East Research and Information Project.) Joel Beinin is Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History at Stanford University and is recognized as a leading analyst of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Other Voices TV Peninsula Peace and Justice Center http://www.peaceandjustice.org A conversation withJoel Beinin Professor, Middle East History, Stanford University "Failing to pursue justice for serious violations during the fighting will have a deeply corrosive effect on international justice, and reveal an unacceptable hypocrisy. As a service to the hundreds of civilians who needlessly died and for the equal application of international justice, the perpetrators of serious violations must be held to account." ~ Richard Goldstone Head of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict Former chief prosecutor for war-crime tribunals on Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia In September of this year, the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, headed up by South African jurist Richard Goldstone, unveiled the results of its investigations into war crimes during Israel's "Operation Cast Lead," a massive attack on Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009. The Mission concluded that both sides in the conflict -- the Hamas-led government in Gaza and the Israeli Defense Forces -- committed war crimes and that justice must be pursued. Washington's response was to call the report "flawed." Israel responded that the report was "biased." Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, initially refused to support the report's referral to the UN Security Council. "I have yet to hear from the Obama administration what the flaws in the report that they have identified are. I would be happy to respond to them, if and when I know what they are." ~ Richard Goldstone On this Other Voices program, we will look into just what is in Goldstone's report, why the various actors have responded in the ways they have, and what must be done to pursue justice in this situation. Prof. Joel Beinin is one the country's top analysts on the Israel-Palestine conflict and a frequent and welcome guest on Other Voices.

A conversation with Lucy Rodriguez, Attorney, member of recent Fact-Finding Mission of International Jurists to Honduras In a return to the "bad old ways" of Latin America, business elites in Honduras backed a coup against the democratically elected president Zelaya. The people of Honduras have continued to resist the coup, however, and demand the return of their president. Now Zelaya has returned to the country, taking up refuge in the Brazilian embassy. Why is Honduras important? What role is the US playing and what role should it be playing? We discuss these and other aspects of this startling political drama.

A Bomb In Every Issue How The Short Unruly Life Of Ramparts Magazine Changed America
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 18:24:31 10/16/09
With Author Peter Richardson The rollicking story of Ramparts—the magazine that captured the zeitgeist of the ’60s, repeatedly scooped the New York Times, brought the new left into American living rooms, and made an indelible imprint on American journalism "Ramparts was part of the media mud puddle out of which some of the most lively forms of journalism crawled, like gonzo journalism and new journalism. . . . It was rambunctious and clever at a time when journalism had grown stodgy and stale." —Mitch Stephens, author of A History of News A Bomb in Every Issue tells the largely untold story of the wild ride of this hugely influential magazine that achieved countless firsts: it published the first conspiracy theory about JFK’s assassination, it was the first to reveal that the CIA had backed the National Student Association during the Cold War, and its article about the use of napalm on Vietnamese children (another first) caused Martin Luther King Jr. to speak out against the war for the first time. Launched in 1962 as an intellectual Catholic quarterly, within five years Ramparts had become a secular magazine and won a George Polk Award for “its explosive revival of the great muckraking tradition.” Deeply committed to the civil rights and antiwar movements, its contributors included Noam Chomsky, Cesar Chavez, Seymour Hersh, Angela Davis, and Susan Sontag. It was in its pages that Che Guevera’s diaries and the prison diaries of Eldridge Cleaver (which became Soul on Ice) first appeared. But by 1975, out of money and time, it had folded for good. Ramparts was “the journalistic equivalent of a rock band,” Richardson argues and, despite its early demise, it left an important journalistic legacy, influencing a generation of reporters and editors, that is still apparent today. Peter Richardson is the author of American Prophet: The Life and Work of Carey McWilliams. He is the editorial director at PoliPoint Press and the interim chair of the California Studies Association, and teaches courses on California culture at San Francisco State University. He lives in Marin County, California.

[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 04:39:58 09/05/09
A conversation with CONN HALLINAN, Foreign Policy Analyst for Foreign Policy in Focus. As the 8th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan approaches, U.S. and NATO casualties are skyrocketing and the devastating toll on the civilian population continues unabated. And yet, serious questions remain about why we are still there. Is Afghanistan really the central battle in the so-called war on terror, or is it Afghanistan’s strategic location—right in the middle of a region that is home to vast energy reserves—that holds the interest of policy-makers? Are we in a confrontation with Al Qaeda—or are we jockeying for position against Russia and China?

Other Voices Tv Uprising In Iran Exploring The Deeper Meanings
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 22:09:34 08/10/09
Dr. Ali Ferdowsi is an Iranian American political scientist who spends each summer in Iran, researching the latest political dynamics there. This year's visit put Dr. Ferdowsi right in the middle of the most significant political development since the Iranian revolution 30 years ago. A native of Iran, Dr. Ferdowsi was in Iran from the first week of June through the first week of July, watching and participating in the election and the protests that followed it. We will discuss, among other things, why an election that was poised to be a routine exercise in a limited democracy turned into a mass protest against a fraudulent election which met with a bloody response by the security and paramilitary forces. What do the protesters want? What does this mean for the future of the Islamic Republic? And what can we do as Americans to side with the Iranian people in their century old yearning for democracy and human rights? While most mainstream media reporting -- where it was able to function at all -- focused on the capital city of Tehran, Dr. Ferdowsi traveled throughout the country, witnessing the "green wave" uprising in cities and towns large and small. Please join us for this special edition of Other Voices as Dr. Ferdowsi shares his unique insights as an Iranian and as a political scientist and gives us a perspective that no domestic analyst could provide. After receiving his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985, Ali Ferdowsi studied as a post-doctoral fellow in the Graduate Program in Demography at the University of California, Berkeley. He taught for three years as a visiting professor in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at Tokyo University for Foreign Studies in Japan. After working for five years as an International Specialist for NHK (Japan Broadcast Corporation), he returned to the United States in 1997 and began teaching in the Department of History and Political Science at Notre Dame de Namur University.
