Show #56, October 16, 2009

This week on The Revolution... we welcome back Prof Will Harris, a tremendous local resource and expert on the middle east. Last year he told me that one thing you can expect in the middle east is that things can always get worse. Boy was he right. As the Goldstone report has been released we've seen a total lack of willingness to condemn Israel for clear atrocities, cynical manipulation from the US and Israel, and a total crisis of leadership for the Palestinians. Prof Harris will assess the current crisis.
