An exciting interview with Dimitri Lascaris from the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.
The Flotilla participants are fighting for authorization to sail, in the face of Israeli efforts to cancel the aid convoy.
Dimitri also discusses the surprise arrest of the Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein, who was manhandled by cops at Washington University during an action for Palestine.
According to Lascaris, the establishment, and supporters of Israel, are trying to create a political environment wherein it is possible to brutalize peaceful protestors for Gaza. This has become a simple matter of conscience at this moment, and it's not just about Israel. "This has first and foremost become a Western genocide."
As a lawyer, Dimitri also explains the diplomatic necessity behind Iran's retaliatory strike against Israel: it is not possible to allow governments like Israel to attack embassies with impunity, as happened on April 1. Israel's own retaliation to Iran's response remains nebulous, in which Israel will not own up to what it did or didn't do. It was actually the U.S. that spoke on behalf of its dependent, Israel.
Israel's regional adversaries are watching, and seeing how Iran hit the most well-defended military base in the region. If Israel had learned how to co-exist and compromise, it would be much more secure now.

Rosa Luxemburg was one of the most influential political theorists of her day. She lived from 1871 until 1919, when she was assassinated by the newly-elected socialist government of Germany. Luxemburg had written that socialism by gradual reform of the capitalist-oriented system would never provide for the needs of workers, that only revolution could do the job. She was strongly in favour of the innovation of May First as International Labour Day. In many countries, it's still a national holiday - but it originated as a day for workers across the globe to stop work and show their collective power.
Luxemburg's life was complicated, but one author boiled it down to a popular book, Red Rosa: A Graphic Biography of Rosa Luxemburg. Here are excerpts from an interview with the author/illustrator of that book, cartoonist Kate Evans - courtesy of Mitchel Cohen of community radio WBAI in New York City.
