Description 
"On the 61st anniversary of the expulsion of Palestinians from their land, ethnic cleansing continues apace in occupied Palestine. We spend the hour listening to excerpts from the hard-hitting documentary film, Occupation 101, which takes viewers through the brutal chronology of dispossession, exile and military occupation in Palestine even before 1948 and the creation of the state of Israel."

"Israel’s air assault on Gaza began with attacks on the Strip’s main police stations, including one in Rafah’s densely populated Junaina neighborhood which left twenty-five officers dead. Over the course of the war, approximately two hundred and fifty civilian policemen would be killed and every major police office damaged or destroyed, according to figures provided by the Ministry of the Interior."

Description 
"The Israeli assault on Gaza was a brutal and one-sided onslaught where one of the most powerful armies in the world used its deadliest weapons against a virtually defenseless population. Like the Lebanon war in 2006, Israel’s military campaign was little more than a string of war crimes that succeeded only in butchering thousands of civilians (including a frightening number of children) but did little to weaken the resistance, the declared target of the war."
