Dissident Mama, episode 38 - Scott Horton
Manage episode 294546573 series 2898227
Scott Horton is the author of “Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism,” “Fool’s Errand: Time to the End the War in Afghanistan,” and “The Great Ron Paul: The Scott Horton Show Interviews 2004-2019.” He’s director of The Libertarian Institute, editorial director of Antiwar.com, and host of Antiwar Radio on Pacifica 90.7 FM KPFK in Los Angeles and The Scott Horton Show. The podcaster/broadcaster extraordinaire has conducted more than 5,500 interviews since 2003.
I tap into Horton’s vast knowledge in order to try to make sense of the Israel-Palestine crisis, its history and modern implications, especially the frustrating gaslit loyalty and heretical beliefs of Christian Zionists, the power of the pro-Israel lobby, the ignored plight of Palestinian Christians, Israel’s obstruction to peace, the Deep State’s fostering discord, and the US’s backing of the secular regime with money, arms, and unparalleled political support. And what does the Murica get in return for being Israel’s client state? Horton will fill us in.
I also tell Horton about my hypothesis that the conflict in Israel is akin to the War of Northern Aggression. Since we in Dixie have been under imperial occupation since 1865, her lands destroyed and given over to settler colonialism, her collective memory maligned, her culture reconstructed and razed, and her people scapegoated and force-fed a revisionist history that not only obscures US government crimes, but now actively promotes them, I think it’s a pretty good comparison, which I may expound upon in a future essay. Find out what he thinks.
