    US Election 2024 Special | S4 E9 | Guests: Jeff Cohen and Dr. Zaher Sahloul

    This week, here on “The Ray Hanania Radio Show” we address the year-long and escalating violence that has plagued the Middle East. Violence has always marked relations between Israel and the Palestinians in the face of opposition to peace and solutions like the Two-State Solution, and also the role of the Western news media in covering and spinning the conflict. It has been a long conflict marked by explosions of violence including the violence committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023 that took more than 1,200 Israeli lives, and the year-long violence by Israel in Gaza that has taken more than 54,000 lives, also mostly all civilians. But it didn’t just start on Oct. 7 as Israel’s government contends, and criticism of Israel’s government is not anti-Semitic. With me today to discuss this ongoing tragedy are two individuals who will help us look at this growing crisis. Jeff Cohen ... Jeff was founding director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College, where he was an associate professor of journalism. He founded the media watch group FAIR in 1986, and cofounded the online activist group RootsAction.org in 2011. Cohen has coproduced documentary movies, including ”The Corporate Coup D’Etat” and ”All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception and the Spirit of I.F. Stone.” He is the author of Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media. He has been a TV commentator at CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, and was senior producer of MSNBC’s Phil Donahue primetime show until it was terminated three weeks before the Iraq invasion. He can be reached through these websites: His organizational website is RootsAction.org His personal website is JeffCohen.org FAIR’s website is FAIR.org Twitter @Jeffcot ________ Dr. Zaher Sahloul, president and founder of Med Global who is with us addressing the growing crisis for displaced people in Palestine, Lebanon and the region. The number of refugees and medical needs have risen to crisis proportions. More importantly, there has been a huge increase in the number of doctors and medical professionals who have been targeted by Israel’s government in the Gaza and Lebanon conflicts. www.medglobal.org Twitter @Sahloul @MedGlobalorg The Ray Hanania Radio show is broadcast live every Thursday at 5 PM on WNZK AM 690 Radio and rebroadcast on Monday at 5 PM on the US Arab Radio in Michigan ,,, it is also available online at ArabNews.com/rayradioshow Get more information on host Ray Hanania at ArabNews.com or on his personal website at www.Hanania.com.

    US Election 2024 Special | S4 E5 | (ADC) Guests: Maryam Hassanein, Safa Rifka, Susan Abulhawa and more

    This week, host Ray Hanania takes “The Ray Hanania Radio Show” on the road to Dearborn, Michigan which has the largest concentration of Arab and Muslim voters and an Arab American Mayor. Hanania attended the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) Convention September 12 through the 15th that was held in Dearborn, and found significant opposition to both Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, and overwhelming favoritism for third Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein.    There, Hanania spoke with Arabs who support Trump, and Arabs who support Harris but who also said Harris ”has time to change” to take a stronger position challenging the policies of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Door is still open for them supporting Harris, they said, but it is closing fast. The Gaza conflict has seriously impacted American politics across the country.    Interviewed are Maryam Hassanein, an appointee of the Joe Biden administration who explains why she resigned in protest of his policies in Gaza. Hassanein She worked in the Department of the Interior as a Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary’s office.   Also interviewed is Safa Rifka, the National Chairman of ADC who explains why they moved the annual convention from Washington DC to give Arab Americans a platform to address issues including the presidential elections.   Three Democratic Legislators were interviewed who participated in an ADC panel addressing questions from a contentious audience about who the Arab community should support for president,  Harris, Trump or Stein. The legislators include Michigan State Rep. Alabas Farhat, Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman, and Illinois State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid. Romman defends Harris believing Arabs must work through the system and Farhat and Rashid believe the door is still open for Harris to take action against Israel’s genocidal government policies in Gaza.   And, Hanania also interviews several activists who attended the ADC Convention on the issue of the presidential elections. First Susan Abulhawa the author of the 2010 book ”Mornings in Jenin,” then North Carolina activist Rania alMasri who disagrees with Romman and supports Stein; and, Minnesota democrat and uncommitted delegate Kevin Aldwaik who is supporting Trump.
