“Gaza is destroyed!" Matt Kennard's intense debate with former Israeli Commando at centre of scandal

Описание: In the fifth episode of The Racket, journalist and author Matt Kennard speaks to Elon Perry, a former Israeli Commando who has since gained international media attention.

At the time of our interview on 08.08.24, we were unaware of the subsequent discussions that would emerge around Perry’s articles in Jewish Chronicle.

Respected outlets in Israel and Britain have reported on claims that Perry’s articles, particularly those concerning Hamas and the Philadelphi Corridor, may have been part of a broader Israeli government propaganda campaign related to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s negotiating position over Gaza.

In this interview, Perry defends Israel's war on Palestine, explaining the history of the conflict and rebukes the world court case for genocide.

The Racket is a series of interviews based on the book The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs The American Empire by Matt Kennard. The series examines the power of the US empire around the world and its attempts to control nations via war and economic strangulation.

Throughout the series Matt Kennard and guests will investigate the violent colonial beginnings of the most powerful nation in history, the tightening of its global stronghold post World War II, the crushing of dissent via CIA interference and its various ongoing wars around the world from a range of perspectives.

Matt Kennard is co-founder and chief investigator at Declassified UK, a news outlet investigating British foreign policy. He was a fellow and then director at the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) in London. He has worked as a staff writer for the Financial Times in Washington DC, New York, and London. He is the author of two acclaimed books: Irregular Army (2012), The Racket (2015) and Silent Coup (2023).
