There has been a process underway involving both Israelis and Palestinians to frame a plan to move forward to achieve one democratic, secular state in Palestine/Israel which guarantees equal rights to all its people regardless of race, ethnicity or religion who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea . One of those involved in this effort is Jeff Halper, an American-born anthropologist, author, lecturer, and political activist who was born and raised in Minnesota, but has lived in Israel for the past 38 years. He is a co-founder of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, and author of Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine. This week we feature Jeff Halper in conversation with Prof. Leila Farsakh of the Umass Boston, on a webinar moderated by Michael Spath of the Indiana Center for Peace in the Middle East.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour 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. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR airs occasional 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.
