Ralph welcomes Middle East expert Trita Parsi to fill us in on the consequences of Israel boobytrapping pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon and how those tactics have the potential to blow back on those of us in the United States. Then we welcome back surgeon and humanitarian Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who has worked in Gaza during the Israeli assault, to update us on his efforts to get the Biden Administration to convince Israel to stop the killing.
Trita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on U.S.-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East and has worked for the Swedish Permanent Mission to the UN, where he served in the Security Council — handling the affairs of Afghanistan, Iraq, Tajikistan, and Western Sahara — and in the General Assembly’s Third Committee, addressing human rights in Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Iraq. He has authored three books on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel: Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States; A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama’s Diplomacy with Iran; and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care surgeon as well as a Northern California Veterans Affairs general surgeon and an Associate Professor of Surgery at the California Northstate University College of Medicine. Dr. Sidhwa served at the European Hospital in Khan Younis in March and April of this year, and he has done prior humanitarian work in Haiti, the West Bank, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. Dr. Sidhwa and 45 other American doctors and nurses who have served in Gaza recently sent a letter exhorting President Biden, VP Harris, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden to effect an immediate ceasefire.
