About this listen

 “With only rare exceptions,” Norman Solomon writes, “US news media and members of Congress continue to dodge the reality of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, normalizing atrocities on a mass scale.” How did we end up in this Orwellian situation, where the reality of genocide is so thoroughly denied by pundits and politicians even as that genocide is unfolding in front of our eyes? How do we combat this level of inhumane violence and propaganda? Solomon, co-founder of Roots Action, joins The Marc Steiner Show for an urgent discussion about Israel’s manufactured genocide of Palestinians and how the media manufactures consent to, at best, hide and, at worst, justify Israel’s heinous actions.

Guests:
  • Norman Solomon is the cofounder of RootsAction.org, executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, and the author of numerous books, including War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death and War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of the Military Machine.
Additional resources:
  • Norman Solomon, Common Dreams, “In too much of the US, Israel's Gaza genocide has been made invisible”
  • Norman Solomon, Common Dreams, “Who’s afraid of Zohran Mamdani? Billionaires”
  • Norman Solomon, Common Dreams, “Bombing Iran Is part of the USA's repetition compulsion for war, war, war”
