It’s not just that the US is complicit in this genocide, the US itself is responsible for this genocide”. A year after the events of 7 October, Joseph Massad speaks about Israel's response and what it has all meant and could mean for the region. Massad speaks about how Israel acts as an extension of US imperial policy. His unapologetic analysis is that it’s an “absurd argument” that the US is being dragged into wars it does not want by Israel and rather the the US has “pushed Israel to be more aggressive in the region since 1967”. We also speak about the prospect of regional war and how that will play out, the response of Arab countries which in his view have continued to support Israel, how the media have covered the last year, what has driven the devastation in Gaza, the future of the region and so much more.
