The December 2023 TV program in the “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” series provides important background and context for the crisis of violence in Israel and Palestine that is going on at the end of 2023.
The American people are alarmed by the news, but very few people understand the background and context in which the current violence arose. If we understand that, we can urge our government to take actions that are smarter and more humane than what our government is doing now.
This TV program opposes violence on all sides. We oppose war crimes. We need a ceasefire to stop all of the violence now. We want to protect all civilians. We need to be even-handed and hold all political entities to the same humane, nonviolent standards.
During this hour we explain clearly that we cannot merely return to the status quo from before Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. We must solve the underlying problems.
Two exceptionally well-informed guests helped us explore this topic during the TV interview:
- Cindy Corrie is very active in the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice. She has studied extensively, visited the region many times, and interacted with many people there.
- Larry Mosqueda, Ph.D., also has studied the issues extensively, visited the region, and taught about Israel and Palestine at the college level.
