This week, we are joined again by Dr. Greg Shupak, professor of media studies at the University of Guelph and author of the book The Wrong Story: Palestine, Israel, and the Media. We discuss the firing of Marc Lamont Hill, the internal logic of the Israeli state's racial hierarchy, and its role as mercenary of the U.S. empire. Then, we hear from Jacqueline and Abdus Luqman, co-editors in chief of Luqman Nation, about the rise of the far right in Brazil. Starting in January, we will feature the Luqmans in a monthly segment to discuss important news items.
