Professor Dr.Joel Kovel, distinguished Professor of Barth College, takes the listener through the historical and culture=political aspects of Zionism. The interview, brilliantly executed, employs the dialectical method to uncover the deeper nature of Zionism ,the racism of modern Israel. Sheriff Fam and Dr. Kovel show how ideology clouds insight by imposing a distorted preconception of benevolence over the brutalization of the entire Palestinian people. It demasks how the rationalization of such brutality is manufactured by a modern political clique in whose interest it functions.
The WZBC (90.3 FM) interview was part of a regular weekly 4 hour "Truth and Justice Radio" program Sunday's from 6 to 10 am and was first broadcast 20 January 2008.
We encourage our listeners to post comment on this tutorial.
