AAI Podcast - Israeli Journalist Resigns Over Abuse - Asaf Ronel

Israeli Journalist Reveals Abuse - Former Haaretz Reporter, Asaf Ronel, describes the systemic abuse of Palestinians he witnessed last May during weeks of violence.  

For decades, Israeli politicians have systematically violated the human rights of the Palestinians with virtually no repercussions. When confronted about these violations by the community of nations, Israel plays the holocaust card to try and shame its critics into silence; and it often works.  Former Israeli minister, Shulamit Aloni, admitted this tactic in a 2002 interview for Democracy Now.

Given the scale of Israel's recent assault on Gaza, including the bombing of a residential building that also held the offices of Al-Jazeera and the Associated Press, that hand may finally have been over-played.

Twenty-five years ago, Noam Chomsky wrote that Israel acts with impunity given the unwavering support provided by the US government. Eleven years ago,  Hitch pondered why American politicians 'acquiesce so wretchedly . . . at the hands of a virtual client state.  It seems things have finally gone too far for some Americans. Recently the New York Times writes that many American Democratic senators are wary of continuing to give Israel a pass for its heavy-handed claims of self-defence.

The article quotes the president of an Israeli lobby group, J Street, stating that Americans turning a blind eye 'essentially amounts to international immunity to Israel.'  What is baffling, to this writer anyway, is that after many centuries of anti-Semitism and maltreatment of Jews in various lands, Israeli politicians currently in charge apparently learned absolutely nothing. Indeed, the Twitter feeds of two Jewish Washington Post correspondents are constantly updated with the latest Israeli abuses and the disgust of these reporters at what is being done to the Palestinians.
