Weaponizing trauma to inflict more trauma is Israel's forte. Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine, No Logo, and the new book Doppelganger, joins Francesca to discuss the all out assault on the people of Gaza in retaliation for Hamas' attack. How is the pain of the Holocaust somehow used to justify the indiscriminate bombing of children? How can anyone justify a bombing campaign equal to the destruction of a nuclear bomb. Klein discusses the failure of Israel's high-tech surveillance ethnonationalist state, and the why Joe Biden's unconditional support for Israel is chilling. When will we finally move from protecting "our people" to protecting "all people"? Plus, how has the far right, anti-establishment grift-o-sphere bled into the left, and will people stop confusing Naomi Klein with Naomi Wolf!
