Dear Khani, In Norman Solomon’s new Afterword in the paperback edition of his book War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine, the author excoriates the White House for arming a genocide with assistance from a complicit press. Soloman tracks events following the October 7th attacks on civilians and military in Israel, a few months after publication of the book in hardcover. The 31-page Afterword in the paperback edition indicts the Biden administration for complicity in Israel’s genocide, a horror facilitated by Pentagon media stenographers who covered up, ignored or under-reported U.S-Israel war crimes. We will talk to Norman about how the corporate press minimized Palestinian suffering, under-reported the Biden administration’s arms shipments, and failed to stand up for journalists risking their lives to cover the bloodbath. We will also acknowledge the reporters who joined in newsroom revolts against corporate overlords censoring their stories. Chat with peacemakers and experts
Featured Guest:Norman Solomon is National Director of RootsAction.org and Executive Director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of many books, including “War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of its Military Machine,” which now includes “Afterward: The Gaza War.” A collection of Solomon’s “Media Beat” columns, published from 1992-2009, won the George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language. Solomon’s incisive analysis and scathing foreign policy critiques are also hallmarks of his other books, including "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" and "Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You" (co-authored with foreign correspondent Reese Erlich) published in January 2003, two months before then-President George W. Bush ordered the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Take Action!
After 11 months of genocide in Gaza the UN Security Council has yet to make any effective action to halt Israel’s attack on Palestinians. UN member states have made individual and joint attempts to make it increasingly difficult for Israel to conduct this genocide. UN member states have previously voted overwhelmingly in support of peace and recognition of Palestine which has been met with a Security Council veto most consistently by the United States. It is clear what is needed is a united effort to do what the Security Council can not, which is to enact peace through resolution 377 (V) which would allow for member states to take action over the Security Council. On Monday, September 16 during NYC Peace Week, we will deliver this petition to UN Member States DEMANDING they take action now! Sign the petition and demand immediate peace in Gaza! Get involved with our CODEPINK Palestine Campaign!We are committed to supporting Palestinian liberation from abroad, using the demands of Palestinians as our guideline for organizing.
