This is a plea for you to make a habit of listening to (and supporting) Flashpoints radio from KPFA in Berkeley. You can listen online or downlowd it or get a podcast. The summary for today's [Wednesday's] show is below:
"Today on Flashpoints: Israel's Operation Autumn Cloud in Gaza leaves twelve Palestinians dead in 48 hours, we'll have a special report from Dr. Mona al-Farra in Gaza City; also, unarmed protesters in Oaxaca beat back the federal police, Jon Gibler reports from the streets; plus, a lively debate on Proposition 90 and what it means for the Black and Brown communities in California; and the Knight Report."
Democracy Now is good as far as it goes, but Flashpoints definitely has more hard-edge reporting. On the Nov. 1st podcast, I heard a heart-wrenching and informative report from a Palestinian NGO coordinator about the latest vicious Israeli incursions into both Gaza and the West Bank. He called on the international community to intervene instead of just watching all this happening. There was also a report on the Israel lobby's activities from James Petras.
Below is the website. Knowledge is power. Ignorance is not blissful; just dangerous (or paraphrasing John Kerry, it may get us into Iran or a lot of other places we have no business being)
