Permanent Rage: Palestine and Israel

Ambassador (Retired) Pete Romero and Writer/Producer Laura Bennett
About this episode

The atrocities are breathtaking.  But once Israel starts picking up the bodies in the smoking rubble of whatever is left of Gaza, then what?  Will Gaza return to Israeli occupation?  Will there be some form of UN occupation?  The Arab League?  So much of diplomacy is one bad choice or another bad choice.  Ambassador Ron Neumann weighs in with a rich and penetrating understanding of the intractable conflict in Gaza and in the region more broadly.
