This week on CounterSpin: Media watchers may know that Katie Halper was fired ([link removed]) from her job at Hill TV because she did a thing you can't do in elite US news media, which is make a statement critical of the state of Israel. Halper described Israel as an apartheid state—a designation supported by the Israeli human rights group B'tselem ([link removed]) , as well as Human Rights Watch ([link removed]) and Amnesty International ([link removed]) .

Her firing, along with others who've crossed the same policed line, is a loss for curious US viewers who want to hear a range of not just views on Israel and Palestine, but news: That would include stories like that of Rayyan Suleiman ([link removed]) , a 7-year-old boy who died September 29 from a heart attack after Israeli occupation forces chased him home from school, because, they said, some of the group of kids he was with threw stones at them.
Dialogue around Palestine and Israel is among the most formulaic that elite media maintain, but growing numbers of people have concerns, not just about uncritical US support for Israel, but also about the shutdown of critics and the conflation of debate with the real problem of antisemitism ([link removed]) . CounterSpin talked about these questions in August with Ahmad Abuznaid, executive director at the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights ([link removed]) . We hear that conversation again this week.

Cryptocurrency Crash
Also on the show: Apparently cryptocurrency is going through a rough patch ([link removed]) . Who would've guessed the thing that presented itself as a way for the little guy to go big in wheelin' and dealin' was not exactly as presented? CounterSpin spoke back in February with Chicago-based writer Sohale Mortazavi whose article, “Cryptocurrency Is a Giant Ponzi Scheme ([link removed]) ,” appeared at JacobinMag.com ([link removed]) . We revisit that this week as well.
