This week on the Global Research News Hour, with masses of humanity amid the most recent military exchange we will be exploring some of the stories behind the slaughter with three observers and assess what answers there may be to their dismal present in the Middle East area. In our first half hour, we get an assessment from international law and relations scholar Richard Falk about the roots of the recent conflict and where it’s headed. After that, Richard Silverstein writer and blogger with the site Tikun Olam talks about the new dynamics in play and where it’s likely headed. Finnally, we get a view from Palestine solidarity activist and commentator Laith Marouf will also reveal the realities motivating changes for the Palestinian people and possibly for the greater world in this seemingly unending nightmare.
