EA on Pat Kenny Show: Israel-Gaza — The Mass Killings Go On and On and On

I spoke with India’s WION on Tuesday about the latest threat to Jerusalem’s holiest sites, with a hard-right Israeli group posting images of a demolished Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

I explain how the threat intersects with Israel’s war on Gaza and with far-right Israeli Ministers declaring that they will replace Al-Aqsa with a synagogue.

From the other side, I consider how Hamas is using the controversy for its own provocative statements extolling violence.
