The recent events in Gaza have seen a significant increase in Israeli attacks against the trapped Palestinians, highlighting the dire situation they are facing. The Biden administration is trying to distance itself from Israel’s actions, but the reality on the ground tells a different story. Israel has already caused extensive damage in Rafah, forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes.
The ongoing crisis has led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, not only in Rafah but also in other parts of Gaza, leaving many civilians wounded, hungry, and in need of shelter. Despite reports of tensions between Biden and Netanyahu, the U.S. continues to support Israel with arms and resources.
In this episode of Intercepted, Medea Benjamin, a co-founder of Code Pink, discusses her activism work with Jeremy Scahill. Benjamin has been a vocal critic of U.S. military interventions and shares insights on how ordinary citizens can challenge the status quo in Washington, D.C. She also addresses the situation in Gaza and the importance of standing up against injustice.
