The latest Israeli assault on Gaza has received ample coverage during the past week in the international media. In a special edition of Voices of the Middle East and North Africa, three guests deepen our understanding of the recent onslaught beyond the reality of Israel`s brutal aggression. First, whose narrative does this media convey and why? Malihe Razazan poses this question to Al Jazeera’s Sherine Tadros, who was one of a handful of journalists covering the attack from Gaza in the winter of 2008/2009. The other question is: Why did Israel really attack Gaza? Khalil Bendib speaks with long-time analyst and Jadaliyya Co-Editor Mouin Rabbani about the new context in which this latest Israeli onslaught is taking place in Gaza, and Israel`s effort to reaffirm and reassert its regional supremacy post-Arab Spring. The show concludes with poet and novelist Professor Sinan Antoon as he reads Silence for Gaza, a poem by Mahmoud Darwish that he himself translated from the original Arabic.
