Max Blumenthal EXPOSES Israel’s Control Over UK Legal System

Investigative journalist Max Blumenthal exposes the gag order and media blackout around the trial of six Palestine Action activists who pose a threat to the “special relationship” between the U.K. & Israel. Max and Katie make a connection to repression in the US, like the violent NYPD crackdown on protests of West Bank land theft auctions at an Park East Synagogue this week.
