The death toll in the latest escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict has climbed past 26,000 this week. It includes more than 10,000 children. Thousands more are still missing under collapsed buildings and rubble in Gaza. If you would like to learn more about trauma and addiction, listen to Dr. Gabor Maté’s interview with him. He is renowned in Canada and has survived the Holocaust.
Dr. Gabor Maté is interviewed by his daughter, Hannah. He describes himself as a “former Zionist” and Jewish youth leader. He is now implacably opposed to the actions of Israel and its ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people.
Dr. Gabor Maté doesn’t mince words. He describes Israel as practicing a form of ‘Apartheid’. Michael Brull has previously written in New Matilda here on the issue of Israel and Apartheid. He also refers to the citizens of Gaza living in a “concentration camp”. A recent story on his personal website describes Israel as engaging in the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians.
If you’re looking for other voices on the issue, Dr. Maté also highly recommends reading and watching other scholars on the issue. These include Ilan Papé and American Jewish academic Norman Finkelstein. If you can stomach the interviewer, this video features Finkelstein being interviewed by disgraced Murdoch journalist Piers Morgan.
Dr. Maté also recommends that people follow the US-based media service Democracy Now, headed by Amy Goodman. You can watch their latest video below, and follow them on YouTube here.
