In the wake of Israel’s genocide on Gaza, Britain’s main political parties stood firmly behind the offensive, finding themselves on the same side as elements of the far right. Much of the British media reinforced these distortions, echoing official lines and leaving the public with a distorted picture of what’s really happening. While UK officials aided Israel in devastating Gaza and undermining international law, the British public was largely misled about the true nature of these events. Journalist Peter Oborne joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss his latest book, Complicit: Britain’s Role in the Destruction of Gaza. The Electronic Intifada’s executive director, Ali Abunimah discusses Zohran Mamdani's victory as New York mayor and explains why Israel fears him. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer brings us the latest from the so-called ceasefire.

Life Above the Jungle Floor
In the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest, about an hour west of San Jose, Costa Rica, on the east side of the continental divide, you can find the Rain Forest Aerial Tram located on a private rain forest reserve. It’s a series of small, open-air cars that hold about five people each held together by a three kilometers long cable. The tramcars carry visitors through, above and below this portion of the Central American rainforest canopy. The Rain Forest Aerial Tram was the brainchild of Dr. Donald Perry, a biologist trained at the University of California at Los Angeles, who, beginning in 1970, has specialized in the study of the flora and fauna of the Central American Rainforest. In April of 1995, I visited the Rain Forest Aerial Tram with Dr. Perry.
Dr. Donald Perry recommends “Life Above the Jungle Floor,” by Dr. David Perry.
