Friday Focus – Israel at War
Friday Focus – Israel at War
This week’s edition of Friday Focus digs into the last week of events on the ground as Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza. What do Janice and Rudyard think about the argument that Israel should agree to a temporary ceasefire? Why do parts of the media seem to be applying a double standard to their coverage of the war and Israel’s air assault on Gaza? And, what are the prospects now for a so-called “two-state” solution in the region? Despite the drumbeats of war, is an independent Palestinian homeland closer to becoming reality than before? Or, has Hamas’ brutal armed assault on unarmed Jews including women and children validated the contention that any future Palestinian state would compound Israel’s insecurity in ways that no nation state could ever accept?
