Editor’s Note: I’m pleased to say my old friend Martyn ‘Bomber’ Bradbury has launched his new programme and podcast titled The Bradbury Group.
Martyn needs no introduction to New Zealanders. Under his handle ‘Bomber’ he’s been at the forefront of political debate, especially from a left perspective, for decades.
What is particularly refreshing about this latest broadcasting initiative is that Martyn has been unleashed from the constraints of his previous show, The Working Group, and its funders. You can read all about that over on TheDailyBlog.co.nz which is Martyn’s own blog site.
He launched the first episode of The Bradbury Group with a cracking line up. First up was Labour leader Chris Hipkins for 10 minutes, where Martyn put a number of concerns to Hipkins – including issues which concern many among the left of centre on Labour and where it is positioning itself under Hipkins’ leadership.
Then followed a panel discussion which included; Ti Pati Maori president John Tamahere, CTU chief economic Craig Rennie, and centre-right commentator and columnist Matthew Hooton.
Also, The Bradbury Group has already been the subject of New Zealand Parliamentary debate with the National-led coalition Government finance minister Nicola Willis citing it in her attacks on the leader of the opposition, Labour’s Chris Hipkins. Willis probably doesn’t realise it, but by raising The Bradbury Group in Parliament she gave the new programme a huge lift – that’s a promotion that advertising money can’t buy!

The LIVE Recording of A View from Afar podcast will begin today, Monday at 12:45pm October 14, 2024 (NZST) which is Sunday evening, 7:45pm (USEST).
In this episode of A View From Afar political scientist Paul Buchanan and host Selwyn Manning I will analyse how the state of Israel has gone rogue, attacking United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon.
At this juncture it is clear this is an intentional attack. Over the past week Israel Defense Force troops have repeatedly attacked UN peacekeepers who were authorised and deployed to the region by the United Nations Security Council.
Also last week; the Government of Israel issued a statement notifying the United Nations Secretary General that he was now banned from Israel and was persona non grata.
Within a day of that statement, IDF troops had fired on UN peacekeeping positions in Southern Lebanon. Since then, the IDF has continued operations that threaten the UN’s presence.
And Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now issued a directive to the UN peacekeeping force to withdraw from the area north of its borders in Southern Lebanon.
Also, despite the United States Biden Administration cautioning Israel on its attacks on UN personnel, overnight New Zealand time, the United States has deployed 100 US troops on the ground in Israel to operate missile defence systems.
It would appear the Biden Administration has allowed Israel’s Government to draw it further into a war justified on defence but is factually a conflict that is clearly disproportional to Israel’s threat.
Atrocities against Palestinian civilians in Gaza continue; and, IDF hostilities continue in the occupied West Bank; missile attacks against civilian areas in Lebanon; and missiles have been fired into Syria over the weekend.
Today, Paul and Selwyn will consider:
* Why Israel has begun to attack United Nations peacekeepers in the region?
* Why has the United Nations deepened its involvement in Israel’s so-called defence?
* What of Hezbollah, Hamas; are their attacks on Israel a defence or an attacking offensive?
* What of Iran, what is its position and will it engage in a full-scale war with Israel and what are the consequences should it do so?

Podcast: A View From Afar with Paul G. Buchanan and Selwyn Manning.
In this episode of A View from Afar political scientist and former Pentagon Analyst, Paul G. Buchanan and journalist Selwyn Manning discuss: The Murky World of Israel’s Booby-Trapped Pagers and Walkie-Talkies.
Paul and Selwyn reveal Israel’s long-form planning that led to it sabotaging hand-held communication devices that Hezbollah used to communicate with.
This episode’s questions include:
Who was behind the manufacturing of the booby-trapped devices?
How long has Israel been planning last week’s attack – an attack that saw thousands injured and many killed in Lebanon after Israel remotely pulled the virtual-pin and exploded the devices indiscriminantly?
And why now? Presumably the devices were also programmed to be tracked. So why did Israel decide to abandon tracking Hezbollah and to attack?
Was it to cause chaos among its enemies in a preemptive move immediately prior to its widespread bombing and targeting of communities in Lebanon?
And what of international law? Has Israel gone so far beyond the Rubicon with Gaza that it senses international law no longer applies to Israel?
And, finally, has the United Nations abandoned its right to protect principles, its peacemaking and peacekeeping responsibilities in favour of aid, development and an overly bureaucratic institution?
