Is there an try to relax debate on Palestine and Israel on each side of the Atlantic?
The USA, and the West basically, are in a “dire interval” of repression of speech on Palestinian freedom or criticism of Israel, argues Dima Khalidi, founding father of Palestine Authorized.
Khalidi tells host Steve Clemons that regardless of sturdy constitutional protections without cost expression, “there appears to be this exception with regards to Palestine”, as witnessed by the wave of censorship, intimidation, firings and restrictions on activism within the wake of Israel’s conflict on Gaza.
The state of affairs is analogous throughout Europe, says British journalist Richard Medhurst, who’s been overlaying Gaza intently and was arrested for “speech crimes” upon arrival in London lately.
