Historian and author Andres Resendez speaks about "the other slavery" -- the enslavement 

of millions of Native Americans from the time of Columbus to the 1900s, a subject often overlooked 

in history curricula. Resendez spoke in Berkeley, CA in April 2017; Mickey Huff was the host of that event. 

This program includes Resendez' speech, and part of the question-and-answer period that followed.

Peter Phillips and guest co-host Michael Sukhov spend the hour with Alison Weir, founder of the organization "If Americans Knew."

 

The interview focuses on two ongoing initiatives by pro-Israel organzations:

-- efforts to have the definition of "anti-Semitic" rewritten to encompass criticisms of the Israeli government,

    a campaign underway in domains ranging from the State Department to university campuses.

-- lobbying state legislatures to pass laws punishing firms that follow the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions)

    campaign against the occupation of Palestine; more than 20 states have now done so.

 

In the course of the conversation, Weir also refutes some common misconceptions about the Middle East, 

    such as "Israel was created by the UN."
