Interview with Rabbi Michael Lerner,
Since Israel launched their offensive against the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon July 12, the death toll, according to Mohammad Khalifeh, the country's health minister, has reached 925 people confirmed dead and 75 missing and presumed killed. He said most of the victims were civilians and around a third were children under the age of 13. Israel has lost 94 people, mostly soldiers, in the conflict which is now entering its fifth week. A cease-fire resolution put forward by the United States and France at the U.N. was rejected by the Lebanese government and foreign ministers representing 20 Arab states. Lebanon's prime minister Fouad Siniora criticized the proposal that would allow Israeli troops to remain in southern Lebanon until a multi-national force can be deployed there. Instead he offered to send 15,000 Lebanese troops to the region if Israel withdraws, a plan supported by two Hezbollah ministers. Israel dismissed the overture and said if diplomatic efforts fail, its ground offensive inside Lebanon would be broadened to stop Hezbollah from firing missiles into northern Israel. Amid the violence in the Middle East, a U.S.-based progressive Jewish magazine has placed advertisements in influential U.S. newspapers calling for the international community to foster a new comprehensive approach to resolving long-standing conflicts in the Middle East. Between the Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun, who explains his group's vision for how a sustainable and just peace can be achieved.

Interview with Bruce Gagnon,
On Aug. 6, the day commemorating the U.S. atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima Japan in 1945, the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space issued a statement that warned that the U.S. and Israel are selecting targets for a cruise missile first-strike attack. The group said that multiple military sources informed them that Pentagon personnel responsible for selecting targets for cruise missile first-strike attacks have been sent to Israel. Bruce Gagnon, co-founder of the Global Network, warns that this information indicates that the U.S. and Israeli military strategists may be meeting to plan a joint attack on Syria and/or Iran. Pentagon spokesman Lt. Commander Joe Carpenter told Between the Lines, "I could envision no scenario where first strike planners would be in Israel." However, he did acknowledge that the U.S. has transferred weapons to Israel since the war with Lebanon broke out a month ago. The Global Network was founded in 1992 to oppose the arms race in space. Based in Brunswick, Maine, co-founder Bruce Gagnon has staffed the organization since its inception, developing contacts within the military on a variety of issues. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Gagnon about his group's assertion and this potentially dangerous expansion of the war in Lebanon.

Interview with Harvey Wasserman,
With wars raging in Iraq and Afghanistan and between Israel, Lebanon and Palestine -- U.S. citizens are becoming increasingly aware of the negative consequences linked to America's dependence on Middle East oil. The rising costs -- both in blood and money -- of running an economy dependent on petroleum are forcing people to look for energy alternatives. Daily reminders of global warming, such as record-setting heat waves that have killed thousands, and melting glaciers and ice caps are also motivating government and industry to look for ways to break the nation's addiction to fossil fuels connected to the production of greenhouse gases. In the midst of this crisis, the Bush administration and the energy industry are promoting nuclear power as an alternative to both high-priced oil and a solution to global warming. The national Energy Policy Act of 2005 made billions of dollars in federal subsidies available for nuclear power plant construction. Sixteen utilities are now making tentative plans to build new atomic stations 35 years after work began on the last U.S. nuclear plant. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with energy activist Harvey Wasserman, author of "Solartopia: Our Green-Powered Earth, A.D. 2030," who takes a critical look at the high costs and dangers associated with nuclear power and the viability of alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power.
