Former Amazon Labor Union President Chris Smalls joins us for one of his first interviews since he returned to the United States after he was beaten, arrested and detained by the Israeli military for attempting to bring aid to starving Palestinians in Gaza. Smalls calls Israel's assault and starvation of Gaza a "working-class issue," and was the only Black member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's latest attempt to break Israel's near-total blockade of Gaza. He describes his assault by Israeli soldiers, who "attacked me out of the 21 volunteers because of the color of my skin." Smalls was later one of the last to be released from Israel's Givon Prison, where he contracted scabies. "I can tell you right now, from my own experience, that Palestinians and people of color are not safe amongst the Israeli government," he says.
