CodePink with Medea Benjamin and Israel Murders Lebanese Journalist Amal Khalil

About this episode

The episode features Medea Benjamin discussing the murder of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil by Israeli forces.

Today on Flashpoints: We feature PinkNotes with our good friends at CodePink. Medea Benjamin will be joining us live. Then we pay tribute to slain Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, a brilliant and courageous correspondent for the Al-Akhbar newspaper who was killed in an Israeli airstrike yesterday in the town of Al-Tayri. After surviving an initial drone strike on a nearby vehicle, she and her colleague sought shelter in a home. The Israeli military then dropped a bomb directly on that building. It’s being called another targeted assassination of journalists by the Israeli Defense Forces. An award winning front-line investigative news magazine, that focuses on human, civil and workers right, issues of war and peace, Global Warming, racism and poverty, and other issues. Hosted by Dennis J. Bernstein. The post CodePink with Medea Benjamin and Israel Murders Lebanese Journalist Amal Khalil appeared first on KPFA.
