Arab Anti-Palestinianism

The Chayalim are Coming

Michael Hirsh was the former national editor for the magazine Politico and a former foreign editor, chief diplomatic correspondent, and national economic correspondent for Newsweek. He is a lecturer and has appeared numerous times as a commentator on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio, and is a frequent guest of The Young Turks, a streaming internet political talk show. He is the author of two books: Capital Offense: How Washington’s Wise Men Turned America’s Future Over to Wall Street and At War With Ourselves: Why America Is Squandering Its Chance to Build a Better World. These days he is a regular columnist for Foreign Policy.

I caught up with Michael Hirsch to discuss an article he put together for Politico earlier this year titled ‘Arab States Are Giving Palestinians the Cold Shoulder. Here’s Why’ in an interview with the former U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker. (0:37-32:49)

A historic, one night only concert in Melbourne, direct from Israel, starring 'The Chayalim Band and Singers' will be conducted by Israeli maestro Rafi Greidi and will bring together local singers Shimon and Dov Farkas and some local surprises. I speak with the musical director Rafi Greidi in anticipation of a very moving performance. (32:56-54:58)
