Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded June 25th, 2025.
As difficult as it is to discern the worst of Israel's litany of crimes against humanity committed in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran over the last 22 months: whether the destruction of vital infrastructure, the targeting of engineers, doctors, professors, artists and poets in their offices and at home with their families, or perhaps the designed famine in Gaza - the nadir of this descent into madness for me has been the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF and its Hunger Games-style baiting and murder of the sick and starving. It is a crime without precedent.
Dr. Dorotéa Gucciardo is the Director of Development for Glia Equal Care and leads Glia.org's Open Gaza Initiative project. She's a literal eyewitness to the Gaza genocide, and member of EyeWitnessGaza, a coalition of health professionals, aid workers, community leaders and others who are calling out policy makers and the media for their failures to reveal and demand an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza. Dorotéa and other members of EyeWitnessGaza held a press conference last Friday in Ottawa to again urge this country, Canada act to stop the killing.
Dorotéa Gucciardo in the first half.
And; if you can make sense of what's happening between Israel and Iran you're a better geopolitical analyst than me. If you can't then you're in luck because I've just such a person appearing in the second half.
John Helmer's a journalist and author who’s spent decades living in and reporting from Russia. He’s the principle behind the web news site, Dances with Bears and has - as well as serving as advisor to governments at the highest level - too been a professor of political science, sociology, and journalism. Among Helmer's many book titles are: ‘The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,’ ‘The Lie That Shot Down MH-17, ‘Skripal in Prison,’ and the recently released Skripal sequel, 'LONG LIVE NOVICHOK! The British Poison that Fooled the World'.
John's recent article at Dances with Bears, '“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!” IN ROPE-A-DOPE STRATEGY, THE BELL ALSO SOUNDS FOR REST PERIODS' bravely sallies forth into the breach of both Western media narratives and Donald Trump's cognitive -and dictive - "capabilities".

But first, Dr. Dorotéa Gucciardo and doing more than witnessing the Gaza Genocide.
