Description
Jimmy interviews journalist and author Chris Hedges about his latest book, “Requiem for Gaza,” a graphic novel created with cartoonist Joe Sacco that documents the experiences of 29 Palestinian families who fled Gaza and were interviewed in Egypt. Hedges describes horrific Israeli abuses of Palestinians, including drone-assisted identification and retina scanning, forced evacuations, disappearances, attacks on medical workers and journalists, and the destruction of Gaza’s educational and cultural institutions.
Hedges argues that the destruction of Palestinian lives, history, and culture reflects a broader effort at erasure, while criticizing Western media and publishers for avoiding coverage of the book and its claims. He concludes that Gaza represents a turning point in international law and human rights, warning that the acceptance of large-scale violence against Palestinians could normalize a world in which powerful nations use unchecked force against vulnerable populations.
