Today our Palestinian voice is that of Khitam Edelbi, who has been a frequent guest on This Week In Palestine as she returns from her home in East Jerusalem to Cambridge each summer to work on her PhD in Expressive Therapies at Lesley University. She has completed her course work and is now working on her thesis. We interview her face to face.
As Khitam has explained, her expressive therapy program is directed at the children in Palestine who are victimized on a daily basis by sadistic Israeli soldiers, checkpoints, house demolitions, and other forms of Israel's wall-to-wall racism, brutality, and dehumanization. Of course Khitam's expressive therapy program doesn't stop any of that. What it does do is give those children a sense of dignity, self-worth, and resilience. Indirectly, it could lead to an uprising strong enough to make Israelis accountable for their outrageous criminal behavior.
Begun in 2004, This Week In Palestine (a weekly 8am feature of Truth and Justice Radio (TJR) is an award-winning 45-minute (or more) segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. TJR is aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, also streamed live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's modest website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net. TJR sometimes airs Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine. We hope you'll write to us at tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments. Stay tuned!
