The Other Middle East Occupation: Israel Launches Largest Offensive in Gaza Since 1967

As Israel launches what may be the largest offensive in Gaza since the 1967 Middle East war, Democracy Now! hosts a roundtable discussion on the Israeli occupation. We go to Gaza City to speak with veteran Palestinian activist and political leader, Dr. Haider Abdel Shafi as well as the head of a Gaza community mental health services provider, Dr. Manal Awad. In Tel Aviv, we hear from renowned Israeli writer and Gush Shalom peace activist Uri Avnery. And in Rafah we speak with one of Israel’s leading journalists, Amira Hass, where Israeli forces have sealed off the city from the rest of Gaza and have demolished over 100 homes in the last week leaving thousands of Palestinians homeless.
