Jimmy Dore: 本期节目讨论了以色列士兵日益增长的不满情绪,以及他们拒绝返回加沙战场的情况。报道显示,士兵们在长期冲突中身心俱疲,对战争的意义和目的产生质疑。 一些士兵的母亲也表达了她们的担忧,她们的孩子们在加沙的战斗中经历了多次部署,身心疲惫,对战争的残酷和无休止感到绝望。 此外,节目还讨论了CNN等主流媒体对以色列士兵的同情性报道,以及对巴勒斯坦人民遭受的苦难的忽视。 Scott Ritter: 以色列军队并非一支专业的军队,其士兵缺乏长期战争的准备和心理承受能力。以色列军队长期以来依赖技术优势和短期战争,缺乏应对长期冲突和高伤亡率的经验和心理准备。 以色列士兵在加沙的行动中犯下了战争罪行,包括对平民的袭击和杀戮。这些罪行给士兵们带来了巨大的心理创伤,导致他们出现精神崩溃和拒绝服役的情况。 与之相比,乌克兰士兵也正在认识到这场战争的徒劳性,并开始逃离战场。他们意识到西方国家将他们拖入这场冲突,他们的未来只有死亡和毁灭。 Jose Vega: 以色列士兵从小接受洗脑教育,长大后被迫参军并进行杀戮,这将导致他们遭受心理创伤。 世代间的冲突导致年轻人为老一辈的争斗而死,这是一种愚蠢和荒谬的行为。 美国对以色列的支持以及其在全球范围内的战争行为和霸权主义,导致世界各国正在形成联盟以对抗美国。世界各国正在走向和平与合作,而美国却在资助种族灭绝。 Jeremy Scahill: 以色列在加沙犯下种族灭绝罪行,主流媒体却对此进行宣传。MSNBC删除了对以色列在加沙战争的批评性采访,这反映了媒体对批评性声音的审查。

According to a report in Israeli outlet HaMakom, interviews with over 20 parents and fighters in a range of battalions have revealed increasing disatisfaction in the ranks.   Among the Nahal Brigade, soldiers spend five weeks fighting in Gaza before returning home to rest, something they have done 11 times so far since the beginning of fighting October 2023.   Jimmy speaks with Congressional candidate Jose Vega and retired Marine Scott Ritter about why the circumstances in Gaza would lead IDF soldiers in particular to refuse to fight any more.   Plus segments on MSNBC’s disappearing of a segment during which journalist Jeremy Scahill excoriates the network for pushing Israeli propaganda, how opposition to the US-led world order is bringing other nations together and a BBC whistleblower’s revelations about the network’s pro-Israel bias.   Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae.
