Max Blumenthal is the author of Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel; he speaks to Cenk Uygur about the situation in Gaza straight from Ramallah on the West Bank. He has been a vocal opponent of Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing militaristic leadership of Israel, the U.S. government’s support of violent acts in the name of the state, as well as the treatment of people living on the Gaza Strip.
Max argues that the status of people living on the Gaza Strip is worse than what black South Africans suffered during Apartheid, asks why the U.S. continues to push for assault on the Gaza Strip, and explains how he, as a Jewish man, mitigates his criticism of the state of Israel. Can Americans protest the violence and death through boycott?

As Yasar Arafat screamed before his untimely death “THIS IS A CRIME”…The Palestinians need a powerful backer. They also need to change their charter . That states Death to Israel . Israel needs to allow Palestinians the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness !! This is a slaughter in many respects.Hamas has to allow Palestinians be free from their restraint. Bottom line there has to be a real give and take on both sides. To reach common ground. For a lasting peace!! Peace!!
