Episode: 04.03.17: Counterpoint host Scott Harris discusses Trump's repeal of Obama climate change regulations and Internet privacy rules; US military escalation in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan & Yemen and New If Not Now movement protests US-Israel policy on Palestine

Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris, is heard every Monday night on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT between 8:00 - 10:00 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archive at http://wpkn.org

1) Tim Donaghy, Senior Research Specialist with Greenpeace USA, discusses his group's response to President Trump's executive orders and other actions reversing or undermining environmental regulations to curb pollution and limit greenhouse gas emissions linked with climate change.

2) Chris Calabrese, Vice President of Policy at the Center for Democracy & Technology talks about his group's response to the recent GOP-controlled House and Senate votes to strip Americans of their privacy protections on the Internet.

3) James W. Carden, Editor of The American Committee for East-West Accord talks about his recent article, "Trump Slips into ‘Endless War’ Cycle," published by Consortium News that reports on Trump's military escalation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere in the Middle East, a stance very different from Trump's "anti-war" rhetoric during the 2016 election campaign.

4) Mira Revesz, an organizer with the If Not Now movement, discusses her group's recent protest action at the The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference, and the issues they're working on re: opposition to the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Occupied West Bank, and U.S.-Israel relations under the Trump administration.
