As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is continuing a public campaign to cast doubt on U.S. diplomatic engagement with Iran, we speak to journalist Max Blumenthal, author of the new book, “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel.” Blumenthal looks at life inside Netanyahuâs Israel and the Occupied Territories. “I was most surprised at the banality of the racism and violence that I witnessed and how itâs so widely tolerated because itâs so common,” says Blumenthal about his four years of reporting in Israel. “And Iâm most surprised that it hasnât made its way to the American public … thatâs why I set out to do this endeavor, this journalistic endeavor, to paint this intimate portrait of Israeli society for Americans who donât see what it really is.”
Thank You.
