Israeli Journalist Amira Hass: How Can the World Stand By and Witness Israel’s Slaughter in Gaza?

We speak with Amira Hass, _Haaretz_ correspondent for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, who is usually based in Ramallah and attended Wednesday’s anti-occupation protest in Washington, D.C., organized by American Jewish peace groups. Hass is the only Israeli Jewish journalist to have spent 30 years living in and reporting from Gaza and the West Bank. She decries the marginalization and suppression of the Israeli left, as “extreme fascists“ in the Netanyahu government have whipped the Israeli public into one that is “drunk with the will to take revenge.“ Transcript: Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
