Peace Review 2023

As part of Hudson Mohawk Magazine’s special segments for the holidays, we have an overview of peace issues covered in 2023: the Ukraine war; Gaza; and nuclear disarmament. We air a peace segment each Wednesday. We start with several competing voices in response to a local presentation by Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, about Ukraine, followed by Maureen Aumand explaining why Women Against War supports a ceasefire. Of the many peace segments we have aired on Israel and Gaza, we start with comments in support of a ceasefire made at a Dec. 4 meeting of the Albany Common Council. Next, we hear from journalist Chris Hedges before his Dec. 6 talk on Gaza at the media sanctuary. We finish with Joseph Gerson of the Campaign for Peace, Disarmament, and Common Security talking about nuclear weapons. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
