This week we continue our reporting on the machinations that took place within the Democratic Party over the recent vote to send Israel an additional one billion dollars for their military Iron Dome project. The US already sends Israel 3.8 billion dollars a year for weapons that they then must purchase from the United States, a very cozy arrangement. In a Mondoweiss podcast, this decision making process within the Democratic Party is dissected by Jewish Voice for Peaceâs Washington legislative staffer, Beth Miller.
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.
