In February, a federal lawsuit filed in Washington, DC, by 13 Palestinian and American activists accuses President Donald Trump and his Middle East adviser Jared Kushner of violating Palestinian civil and human rights. Also named in the suit are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; Miriam Adelson, the wife of billionaire settler financier Sheldon Adelson; Israeli lobby group the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC); and 13 others. The action targets Trumpâs âDeal of the Century,â along with laws introduced in 28 American states that illegally deny Americans the right to boycott Israel. Filed on behalf of 13 plaintiffs, including Palestinians living in America and in occupied Palestine, the lawsuit argues they were stripped of their legal and civil rights not only Israel but by American officials and activists empowered by a biased media and political system.
Todayâs program features attorney Martin McMahon, whose high-powered Washington, DC law firm is litigating the case. Here he's speaking at the Washington Press Club, announcing and outlining this blockbuster lawsuit.
We believe this show is finally back on the air at WZBC. When Boston College sent its students home, the station got switched over to 100% robotically sequenced music, which we are now replacing. If it doesn't work, please listen online at 8am EDT Sunday from KKRN.org (our friendly sister station) or from this permanent posting.
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 has been 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's permanent archives back thru 1-6-2008.. 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.
