Director of ACCESS Ohio Speaks on Israeli escalating of Violence

Jeff Kassouf, director of the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services in Cleveland, was interviewed on yesterday's Guerrilla Radio. Listen here as Jeff talks about recent military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, the Israeli lobby, and the portrayal of various organizations in the U.S. media. Israel continues to claim the raids are in response Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers 11 days ago, and has rejected calls for a cease-fire. Israel has been clear in its desire to eliminate Hezbollah completely, but analysts point out the organization's social roots and high-level guerilla abilities. With the reality of the IDF meeting a much stiffer resistance than expected, there is also talk the Lebanese army may get involved in the fighting if Israel launches a fuller scale land invasion.
