Our Nation’s Ongoing Complicity In Genocide. Steve and Karen welcome Alice Rothchild back to the show. Rothchild is a doctor, author, filmmaker, blogger and activist with a focus on Gaza and the West Bank.
Asked how she can deal with the pain of the ongoing violence against people who can’t really defend themselves, Rothchild replies, “I don’t focus a lot on how depressed I am or how angry I am because that’s not what the story is about. The story is about our country providing massive amounts of weaponry and political cover to an Israeli government that is committing a genocide. And I think we must never lose sight of that. And because of the political and military industrial dynamic, we are complicit. And for me, the way to deal with the complicity is to speak up against it.”
She says that part of her work is to be involved with the Jewish Voice for Peace and as a member of its health advisory council. She is also involved with Wearenotnumbers.org.
Rothchild calls the Israeli/Hamas “war” the first livestreamed genocide saying, “If you want to know what’s going on, it’s really easy to find out.”
