Ep. 5225 – Hassan El-Tayyab on America’s Ongoing Genocide in Yemen – 3/27/2020
Hassan El-Tayyab talks to Scott about the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen, where the U.S. continues to help Saudi Arabia wage an aggressive war against the Middle East’s poorest country. Scott reminds us that President Trump could end the war with a single phone call, but is too concerned with the arms contracts with the Saudi government to risk jeopardizing the relationship. Things are already desperate for the Yemeni people, who have a hard time getting food, medicine, and clean water. These problems have led to the world’s worst outbreaks of cholera, a disease that only needs basic sanitation and nutrition to treat. It would be an utter disaster if the coronavirus spreads there on top of the problems they face already.
Hassan El-Tayyab is a musician and peace activist based in Chicago. Find his work at justforeignpolicy.org.
Ben Ehrenreich, author of The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine, discusses why Palestinians in Nabi Saleh have continued protesting the Israeli occupation and theft of their spring for years despite overwhelming odds, brutal responses by Israel, and a less than “honest broker” in the US government that is staunchly supportive of Israel, no matter what.

Grant Smith returns to the show to discuss The Black Cube, a private intelligence firm for hire. Smith and Scott discuss who might be behind the Black Cube investigations into prominent supporters of the Iran Deal, including friend of the show Trita Parsi. Smith then shares the details of the Free Trade Agreement and discusses NEWMEC, which began in the 1960s when Israel stole weapon's-grade uranium from the United States. Finally the two discuss the reality of Israel's nuclear weapons and ""qualitative military edge"" in the Middle East.
Grant F. Smith is the author of a number of books including “Big Israel: How Israel’s Lobby Moves America” and “Divert!”. He is director of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington, D.C.

Spencer Ackerman, reporter for The Washington Independent, discusses the shame deserved by neo-crazy media sycophants Jeffery Goldberg and Stephen F. Hayes, who have both done so much to push the lie that Saddam Hussein was working with Osama bin Laden, the effect of the echo chamber on the inside of the media industry, how he got the war wrong and what he's trying to do about it now and the fight between the Mahdi Army and the Badr Corps (aka "Iraqi Army") and the failure of the surge.

Foreign Policy in Focus columnist Conn Hallinan discusses the 150+ years of shameful US foreign policy in Latin America since the Monroe Doctrine; how the US is now losing political and economic influence to the BRICS in Central and South America; how Hugo Chavez has reduced demand for IMF predatory loans and the inevitable austerity measures that follow; the laughable “Iran is taking over South America” right-wing talking points; and the Obama administration’s tacit approval of military coups in Honduras, Ecuador and Paraguay.

M.J. Rosenberg discusses the controversy over representative Ilhan Omar’s recent comments about AIPAC, which caused everyone in and around the Israel lobby to lose their collective minds. The main problem with the outrage, explains Rosenberg, is that she’s basically correct; AIPAC really does wield enormous influence over both parties in Washington, only it has more to do with political power and the United States’ greater relationship with Israel than with actual campaign contributions.
M.J. Rosenberg is a former Senior Foreign Policy Fellow at Media Matters Action Network, before which he worked on Capitol Hill for 15 years for various Democratic members of the House and Senate. You can find him on Twitter @rosenberg_mj.

IPS News journalist Adam Morrow discusses Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi’s narrow victory in Egypt’s presidential runoff election; how Egypt’s military and supreme constitutional court are subverting civilian government and democratic reforms; the danger of false flag bombings designed to sow unrest and discredit the Islamists; and why Egypt’s military is better suited for domestic repression than national defense.
