Our weekly roundtable is back: We discuss the growing global anti-austerity movements led by the people of Greece who voted 61% against austerity measures in last Sunday’s referendum. What impact will the austerity package that Greece is now accepting have on that movement? Have the Greek people been sold down the river? What will it mean for other poorer European countries as well for the success of imposing even more austerity in the US.
And as yet another humanitarian ceasefire maybe underway in Yemen, as US backed Saudi Arabian and a coalition of Arab nations bombardment of the most impoverished country in the Arab World has killed thousands and injured many more, leaving the country at the brink of famine. What are the interrelationships between the civil war in Yemen, the difficult Iran nuclear negotiations, the civil war in Syria, the mess in Iraq, the continued Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the rise of the Islamic State?
The US Presidential election season: people in the US just have to work harder says Presidential candidate Jeb Bush, Donald Trump continues his onslaught of Mexican undocumented immigrants, Hillary reassures her Zionist friends of her opposition to the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions movement against Israeli goods that is growing support, and Bernie is on the rise with thousands turning out.
Our panelists are Jackie Goldberg, Tom Hayden, Dr. Gerald Horne.
