‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR FEBRUARY 23, 2024: Richard Becker on Palestine, Israel and the American Empire… Gerald Horne on the ICJ and Navalny… More from “The Occupation of the American Mind…


In our second excerpt from the documentary, “The Occupation of the American Mind,” Israel’s 1982 attack on Lebanon, and the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, forces Israel to adopt a robust strategy of propaganda called hasbara. And a new book offers the untold history of Israel and Palestinian resistance. We speak with Richard Becker about the just-released second edition of his book, Palestine, Israel, and U.S. Empire.
