yes that is allowed the when it gets to the money. and you. have a. lesson and there's a. solution. that is. going to cook. what's happening everyone i imagine martin and this is breaking a set so remember chiquita banana was funny in a right wing paramilitary death squad in colombia oh well even if you don't they were yes to the tune of one point seven million dollars back in the ninety's the violence between the chiquita banana supported a new scene it's left wing counterpart far resulted in the deaths of almost fifty thousand people mostly civilians and because of this the families of the thousands

of colombians who were killed during the country's bloody civil war had sued the company trying to get accountability for their loved ones however just this week a federal appeals court threw out the case out of the justification that the lawsuit was out of the court's jurisdiction it was a big blow to the families considering how the banana giant had previously pled guilty excuse me to criminal charges regarding the funding of the paramilitary death force having to shell out twenty seven million dollars to the d.o.j. as a result now without a legal avenue against chiquita for the families to pursue one of their last hopes as a petition the supreme court to reconsider the case interesting that the u.s. justice department gets millions of dollars from the banana monolith instead of the actual people who truly suffered as a result of the corporations actions interesting yes surprising now and let's break this.

please please take the you very hard to take that leap. you are back with the earthquake they're looking. at least. a little. early. while the n.y.p.d. is making headlines again this week after allegations surfaced of yet another case of police brutality the latest instance involves a police officer caught on video striking

a man in the face during an arrest and putting him in a chokehold keep in mind that this report comes only days after an n.y.p.d. officer in staten island use a similar illegal chokehold on a forty three year old man named eric garner a police report of the arrest was related to garner selling untaxed cigarettes although witnesses at the scene tested the scene the police approached gardner simply for breaking up a fight and the man recording a video of the encounter even pleaded with officers not to go after garner who was simply doing the right thing in a potentially violent situation and fortunately for garner officers did what they often do when they run into a minority they quickly moved to arrest him put him in a choke hold until he lost consciousness and eventually died in the video garner who was as magic is heard struggling to utter the words i cannot breathe as police continued to strangle him to death the worst part of all is that this happens all too often in new york. city in an almost unbelievable statistic of wall street

journal reported that in two thousand and eleven the n.y.p.d. stopped more young black men and the total number of young black men in all of new york hopefully eric garners death will galvanize enough outrage to finally put an end to this institutionalized racism so not one more new yorker has to senselessly die at the hands of the n.y.p.d. . today is day eight team of israel's operation protective edge and while the rest of the world watches in horror israel has only seemed more than bold and to continue crushing the gaza strip on the name of self-defense now a twelve hour cease fire has been announced hopefully alleviating the bloodshed temporarily however yesterday five people died in the west bank which saw its largest demonstration against israel since the one nine hundred eighty s.

and in gaza at least eight hundred seventeen palestinians are dead according to the wall street journal at the time of this broadcast eighty percent of the casualties are civilians including nearly two hundred children at least five thousand three hundred people have been injured according to the international middle east media center as gaza's hospitals struggle to meet the increasing demand for medical care and considering how the u.s. provides more than three billion dollars in aid to israel annually many are calling on obama to use his way to end the violence in fact in the region dr volunteering throughout the crisis wrote an open letter inviting obama to spend the night in a gaza hospital saying quote just now the orchestra of the israeli war machine starts its gruesome symphony again salvos of artillery from the maybe boats just down lands on the shores a roaring f. sixteen it's sickening the drones and the clattering apaches so much made and paid in by the us i invite you to spend one night just one. it with us and shift i'm

convinced one hundred percent it would change history nobody with a heart in power could ever walk away from a night here without being determined to end the slaughter of the palestinian people well after such a tragic two weeks on the ground many are left wondering what they can do to help to discuss solutions and more choleric journalist at the electronic intifada thank you so much for coming on i get most of my information from you you've been tweeting up a storm one of the best people covering this entire conflict you interviewed in the region dr mads gilbert who wrote that open letter to obama that i just referenced who is this guy why is he in gaza and what were the most important points that he addressed to you so that's go over it is a physician who has been in gaza every single time it's been attacked for the past like six years. and each time he's been he's seen you know the same horrors over and over again and i've spoken to him like you said repeatedly and each time is updated me it seems like the toll is getting worse and the injuries are getting worse and what he keeps telling me is that it's civilians and children and children

and women and parents and families that are coming in with their bodies just torn to shreds by israeli you know high level military technology that's being used on and you put it to me that it's being used on a naked civilian population is the way he put it. and also i mean the hospitals are stressed they already were suffering from you know severe dire sort of shortages before this latest round of this latest assault because of these each on gaza which basically seals it and you know israel a lot to go in and so now they're even more stressed they've got you know injuries that trauma one centers in the u.s. would have trouble dealing with and so you have a you know a really really difficult situation taking place on the ground there absolutely and i know that you mentioned the deliberate targeting of hospitals as well right before this broadcast announce that there was this fire i guess for. twelve hours this pause however we were just talking over the started that there was reports of

actually continuous shelling on a bunch of places including hospitals still even with this pause can we expect really anything with these pauses i mean i'm not sure there's been a few positives so far like i think to maybe where there was supposed to be a five hour pause or two hour pause here to you know humanitarian pause to collect the wounded each time israel has continued to shell and your hospital shelling hospitals has been a big deal there's been at least twenty five at this point more because there's more reports of another hospital being shelled but at least twenty five medical facilities have been hit by israel throughout this on. several ambulance workers paramedics have been hit as well and this is routine and it's deliberate it's not by accident that's why eighty percent of the over eight hundred fifty people that have been killed have been civilians. i want to get your take on something that i found interesting of course obama in the media had been repeating. all this is

justified by the continuous hamas rockets going into israel however why was netanyahu so upset the airport was closed in tel aviv i mean it there are so many rockets disrupting israel why not to close down the airport. i think the point is that there's not i mean you know rockets are a nuisance but it's not this threat that israel likes to make it out to be where you know the country is going to cease to exist because of these rockets and i think you know the reason he was so upset about the airport situation is because that hits israel economically which is probably just a problem so it's like they want the you know that he wants both sides of it he wants to be the victim all the same time being like no it's totally safe but i think that goes back to the fact that this isn't about tunnels and rockets this is about this continuous collective punishment on gaza that's meted out every couple years intensely the way it is now but in between it's meted out with the siege. and it goes back to trying to cry. what resistance exists against israel's colonial

enterprise why is this type of continuous violence intrinsic in the way israel has been formed and the way it continues to operate. the people of gaza there's one point eight million people that are basically trapped in a ghetto. eighty percent of them are refugees that were kicked out of israel because they are the wrong ethnicity and so that's you know that's the case with all palestinians are outside israel they were kicked out they were ethnically cleansed and israel in order to maintain its demographically demographic majority. demographic demographically engineered majority jewish population it has to consistently launch this sort of violence against palestinians whether it's in the west bank where people have been killed in the past two days or three days for protesting against the gaza war or in gaza where it's the most intensive version the most extreme version of what it takes to maintain this jewish colonial state in

an area where the didn't are not majority jewish it is extreme and i think that's a really accurate way to describe this because when you're looking at the massacre it's so one sided it's almost absurd that you continue to see this in the face of so much bloodshed and i guess i wanted to get your response to these kind of talking points the human shield talking point and also the hamas charter and i don't actually know because i don't read arabic but the translations is that israel should cease to exist. well ok it's of the first point with the human shield this is something that israel consistently says and i think you put it on your show a couple nights ago where you know the only evidence israel provides is these cartoon sketches. so you've got this accusation being made that i think is a very recent accusation to suggest that arabs you know arabs like to use their children as shields you know this is something that the u.s. used to state during iraq as well exactly the mythologizing exactly. and so but the point is that there is no proof that hamas is using human shields and you know one

journalist after another has said i haven't seen it happen i've got an ambulance as i haven't seen you using store weapons in fact the only documented cases. are actually systematic cases that have been documented by human rights organizations is israel using palestinians as human shields by putting them on the hoods of cars . or you know forcing them to go into homes to make sure there's no explosives they did they've done the same gaza they've done in the west bank so it's kind of the most like projection to be accusing palestinians of using each other as shields i'm into the second point you know this is the thing that people like to bring up is oh hamas wants to destroy israel but i would point out that the old the side that's being destroyed here is palestine and it's been being destroyed since one nine hundred forty eight and right now it's being destroyed as we speak in a very vicious and violent and bloody way and so i think it's more important to focus on which side has the capacity to destroy the other side and actively doing

so and that's israel sort of point let's talk about solutions that boycott divestment sanctions because of the b.d.s. movement why well because you know it's a call that comes from palestinian civil society asking people of conscience around the world to boycott divest and sanction israel until it dismantled apartheid and till it gives equal rights to palestinians and so i that's why i think it's important to have it coming from the people who are suffering and so i think it's really important to you if we care about you know ending that oppression and that suffering to honor that call and also as a tactic i think it's very effective because we have a you know israel is a country that's supported by most western governments support israel hard core and it's very very difficult to get change from the top and so this is a way that grass roots you know it's a bottom to the top kind of movement where people on the grassroots can really you know effect change and i think if we look. you know the south african model of

dismantling apartheid divestment played such a huge role in doing that i think it i think we can see the same thing happen with israel i hope and we're seeing it happening we're seeing on campuses from one campus to the next student governments divesting there are funds from companies that prop it up with israeli occupation and it may be a meat seem minor because it's not that much money but it does a lot of damage to israel's image because it brings you know kind of out in the open it exposes this racist regime for what it is absolutely and i think musicians decided not to play there all of these things coming together how we're going to change this run and of course unfortunately in this country the way hamas is designated even though they are democratically elected leadership of the territory we cannot donate to palestinians on the ground because we would be perhaps indicted as as funding terrorists and i just wanted to give a little website out islamic relief usa i r usa dot org for people who want to help out on the ground are the best organization that you can do without being you know accused of supporting terrorism unfortunately that's the situation we're in thank

you so much from your color journals with electronic intifada really appreciate your insight. coming up i'll talk about how the city of san francisco is helping out our society's most overlooked citizens stay tuned. the money is the root of all easy pickens and money is the root of all crashes were once every dumb dumb as to what school is one. thing air in the west is. essentially leaving in this world when they believe that you know that. tactic. they simply don't realize when propaganda is being torn down we need to go but you know beyond that and actually cage with the ideas from the snake is presented as well if you confront that information i think that's something that. as you mentioned before not everything is black and white

not everything isn't taken is taken and the more that we can be i guess open open minded con the source of information regardless of the source i think we're all going to be. given that system just to help poor people poor women but to continue to change their lives and nobody's trying to make money out of them those who want to make money out of them by the suzy concept trying to do really should do it in the open for still. well it's been an extremely heavy news week with way too much tragedy to bear

journalism and kidnapped seven hundred people died in syria clashes iraq and afghanistan are falling apart and here in the us to traders are without a vital human right the plane that was shot down last week and on that ukraine was nothing short of a tragedy two and one day after the m.s.m. is disaster porn coverage ranging from sky news reporters digging through dead passengers luggage to neo cons calling to go to war with russia i probably gave one of the fairest statements out of any t.v. personalities see i made a call for deescalation and condemned both the u.s. and russian foreign policy over the country's respective actions in ukraine and for arming militias the culling out the us along with russia isn't useful for the mainstream media to exploit in the corporate press in the midst my on air condemnation and it's recent our team was dangerous propaganda redux the only site that did pick it up was talking points memo so props of them for that and you know amidst all these reporters are. resigning in protest of networks it makes me wonder

why no anchors have resigned over the m.s.m. is insanely biased coverage of gaza that's right because it would make them on some heroes for the voiceless not overnight celebrities which brings me to this coverage we've been doing on the show after doing a series of reports about the reality of palestinians i've received thousands of messages from people all around the world thanking me for taking a stand against israel's barbarism but of course with the propaganda hasbro machine and full of fact i've also gotten hundreds of trolls and sock puppet accounts repeating the exact same talking points as well as talking over the reds taking over threads with generic and graphics justifying slaughter but i've already debunked every single hasbro talking point on the show so i'm not going to waste any time addressing those now you can refer to my entire body of work on israel for that so instead i'm going to goes through some of the sillier messages i've received this week someone on facebook named alpha perspective who looks like they only created an account to post on my pages took

a photo shop in my space inside of a soldier on a tank not sure why because i am against the military so not really sure what that supposed to mean but all for perspective also made this you know to add the this should i break someone else. or yell at her j.k. treated out in many rob lowe breaking the set with gusto including a little animated gif a man and i do not and from his onset handshake so thanks for the good the bad the ugly and the strange thanks so much for sharing the content and for the feedback as always now let's get on with the show. on any given night in america there are upwards of six hundred thousand people without a roof over their heads and despite the hardships these people face every day there's a concerted effort by stay. local officials to criminalize them simply for being

home once now from laws prohibiting everything from pan handling the sleeping in public cities across the country are criminalizing the poor and according to the national law center on homelessness and poverty over the last three years there's been a significant rise in these anti homeless laws legislation against bagan has shot up twenty five percent bans on camping have risen by sixteen percent and most disturbingly laws against sleeping in cars that increased one hundred and twenty percent but it's not only laws like these that hurt the homeless it's policies that make it practically impossible for anyone on the streets to find shelter policies like anti homeless bikes being implanted on the ground to prevent people from falling asleep which are popping up in cities all over the world and in some towns the bans go as far as making it illegal for people to even help those most in need all of which perfectly exemplify is a decades long war to end poverty has turned into

a war against the poor maria. sorry i got that wrong she's probably greek of the national law center as that quote it's really hard to get a job when you're homeless anyway or getting housing you have no place to bathe no place to dress no money for transportation but then you also have an arrest record and it's even more challenging yet as this disturbing trend continues there are those leading by example on how to lend a helping hand like in san francisco california work or to the a.p. in two thousand and thirteen there were more than sixty four hundred homeless people the nonprofit group called lava may is taking a slightly different approach to address various problems the homeless face by transforming a former city bus into a shower on wheels activists have fitted the bus with two private bathrooms with clean toilets soap free towels and one thing that so many of us take for granted a nice warm shower private donations amounting to seventy five thousand dollars was . all it took to transform this vehicle into

a permanent service for the city available to their is forest residents most days of the week in fact san francisco's public works department says the program has been so successful that a similar mobile shower system will be tested in other parts of the bay area where it's most desperately needed but this amazing story just proves how we have the resources to care for one another and instead of putting our money toward death and destruction we should be making an effort to put it toward human dignity respect and life. so hopefully there is a cut our teeth newest addition to programming redacted tonight or as how sleep can cause a comedy news for the team redacted team works all week to bring viewers their weekly dose of news with the latest twist you can watch it every friday night at eight pm right here on our teeth have a chat about some of the stories they're covering on the show tonight i'm joined by redacted hosts i'm sorry jack and

a host of the camp and political correspondent you're not you're not the host john as you want to. get out of the no i don't know guy is you know of him and you. know you guys are both transplants from new york how the hell is the transition been for you coming from work to. be i want to live. like it's hard though you know i mean sometimes i know there's cool people here and i've met some of them but every time i go out it feels like we're inundated by these soul sucking dampers people and i know it's not nice to say but i just don't know what i'm interacting with i don't know what they're about it's like oh i just met you you seem cool wait oh you're lobbying for months the hands of something i don't want to know you're pushing for why he'd more an agenda i don't think so your aggression is they have or how does your guy feel about net neutrality you know which is we were constantly in the belly right know that i met some guy the other week and we were talking i was like i was going to kill him then i realized he was a blogger for the state department who posted. blog about our tipping dangerous

propaganda and i was like oh not the can't anymore so there's a tribute to this transplant of us today so it's been kind of like a body rejecting an organ transplant you know it's just a lot of vomiting some rashes it's nice yeah there's all types of people here but why did so many people look like they just stepped out of a j. crew magazine slapped on some tacky i'm not going to dismiss your existence for doing that but just have a little bit of sense of the looks like white doughboys like karl rove karl rove just streamlining those careers you guys have. you know isn't all summer so i love it i'm in there i mean they're watching it every week laughing at it you cover a lot of the same issues that are on the show except of course make it much more enjoyable to watch them over the last uprising this week you guys are talking about edward snowden and how more and more people in organizations are actually signing up and calling him a hero you know. they finally all are which you know i feel like until recently the media has made it all about always a hacker you know found out of him there's a thing for the sake of argument let's pretend he's the worst human being to ever

live let's pretend he you know he makes charles manson look like tom hanks right there you know he still people french fries when they're in the bathroom just a horrible human being it wouldn't matter it doesn't matter because it's like someone telling you your house is on fire and then you turn and you go hold on words. i'm not following really isn't that marching the other way it's insane exactly and it is cool that mainstream and very recognizable and respected organizations and people are coming out for him because the head of the united nations human rights commission she said that he's a human rights offender he was he was nominated for a nobel peace prize by two norwegian politicians and he got standing ovations it's up by southwest and that's two thousand and fourteen. amazing the media keeps painting this traitor you know we should all be paying attention to who snowden is and why he's such a bad person and when it's all about the leaks you know it's all about like we were talking about. last night i bumped into some nice person being snowed in comes up

he's like i hate snowden he's a traitor you know that you know you've given to snowden cheer illustrated on i've been saying the new c.n.n. crying well you know one party or the other he had to come from a standup background and you want to actually. show i want to ask the audience like they're like are you going to force in the snow and just trying to figure out what was going on and it was very right. covered this trial over one hundred pound tarmac at what the hell is going on and what is this why why are misbehave just basically the b.p. oil spill is causing it like the oil is congealing with like shells and sand and becoming these massive tar mats that are being discovered on the beaches of florida so we're literally paving the ocean now which is it's mind blowing and you think the immigration problem is bad now wait till the immigrants just run across the mexico you know once it's paved we're getting there and no wonder the marine life not doing well then go on wheels yet you know to get on this it's another it's

another example of now this this company b.p. did this awful thing and now they're being rewarded they just got the first license for commercial drone by the f.a.a. grazer kind of go and explore and go over look at the road building a better record technological advancements in uncharted territory. ok this is another bizarre thing you guys rally a lot for workers' rights. and i want your take on another story related to billboards in the bay area what and the hell is going on criticizing them in minimum wage increasing suggesting that service our service workers are to be replaced by i pads i can't speak but what is this about right so they do they take out these massive billboards saying if you wave raise the minimum wage you can be replaced but that's first of all already happening it doesn't matter whether workers are treated right or not they're still being replaced by i pads but secondly they also did well with miley cyrus where they did not have her permission they just put it up there anyway like miley is pissed off because of because you know. minimum wages gone up or whatever there is we have is no she's tore it off

yeah that's not an expression but that's not ok with that but so we decided all right if you can do this have nonconsensual spokespeople we created some of our own so why why one of why is well just the one why does john baner but i don't often go there graphic but it was john boehner have a baby because in ohio what a man does with a horse in the privacy of his own barn is no one's but i don't tell you this show you guys everyone check every doctor and i thank you so much john and paul donald can really put them all on thanks anyway thanks for watching guys be sure follow me on twitter and abby martin joins me next week and i break the set all over again. for the moment like the policies just like you.

should have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researcher. we chase profit very large very attractive and now very globally recognized source of oil for the world and into the world's cheapest and best petroleum deposits have been mined out we have to use more energy to get this energy industries grow like a cancer each of these squares it's ten kilometers where. and this whole area is slated for the way of that's or drinking water that's our wildlife service

that's our fisheries we can't stop this is the end game when it takes two tons of sand to make one barrel of oil you know you're at the bottom of it and that's where . we chill ourselves. in and. if. i do it. at the. spring which that is allowed to live i need it so the money. you didn't ever. get a good. lesson to you that there was an american goes to. solutions for the found that is. going to cook.

it's. not. breaking news so this hour israel approves a new twenty four hour ceasefire in gaza last until sunday at midnight hamas says it will not abide by the truce. of the ten by the crimean military i was threatened with my life when i was deported from the country and buying for three years in a few minutes i'll be telling you the full story about my three days in detention in the. british journalist graham phillips who describes what happened after he went missing in eastern ukraine. the number of civilians killed in a military crackdown on the eastern provinces of ukraine continues to. shell. the city of killing at least nine hundred.
