Those of us who follow the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are well aware of the heavy handed, pro-Israeli role that the United States plays in protecting Israelâs interests. Yet they also hold themselves out as being honest brokers in trying to find solutions in what they characterize as a peace process.
For our feature presentation today, you are about to hear former US Ambassador to Israel and self-styled "negotiator," Martin Indyk, trying, with a straight face, to defend the role the US is playing. He is countered by a bright moderator and some Palestinian voices that challenge his absurd, indefensible positions. You are about to hear Indyck on Al Jazeeraâs program "Head to Head" with moderator Mehdi Hasan, and also featuring a panel with Palestinian author and activist Ghardi Karma and others who will be introduced.
