Two US Air Force Members Speak Out Against the War On Gaza

Unauthorized Disclosure

On this week's edition of the "Unauthorized Disclosure" podcast, host Kevin Gosztola talks with Juan Betancourt and Larry Hebert, who are both United States Air Force members who applied to become "conscientious objectors." Juan and Larry were moved to apply for "conscientious objector" status when they observed the Israeli military's genocidal violence against Palestinians in Gaza. They discuss becoming a part of a long tradition of U.S. military resistance and dissent. Both interviews were recorded before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington to address the U.S. Congress and meet with officials in President Joe Biden's administration. Given Biden and the wider U.S. government's unwavering support for the genocidal violence against Palestinians, their opposition is courageous and inspiring.
