The Israeli military has been heavy handed, even by its own standards, destroying hospitals, churches, mosques, apartment blocks, and literally everything else in its path. On this episode of The Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with Mondoweiss Gaza correspondent Tareq Hajjaj and a member of the Palestinian Writers Union who had to be evacuated from Gaza.
