In this radio interview Starhawk speaks about her direct experience in the West Bank/ Occupied Territories/ Palestine where Palestinian refugees live and have been living for years as they have been pushed out of Israel. This interview took place in Berkeley, Ca. when Starhawk was on her way to speak at a memorial for Rachel Corrie, a young American woman activist who was in Palestine in support of the rights of the Palestinian people 2 years ago. Rachel Corrie was run over and killed, it seems very knowingly, by the driver of a US made Caterpillar special bulldozer, used over and over again to plow down houses of Palestinian people. Starhawk arrived for one of her visits a day or two after this murder occurred and speaks about the killing and the conditions in Palestine where she has been several times and plans to return again soon. She describes the continuing worsening hardships of the Palestinian people who are separated from their fields, food, livlihood, education, etc. by check points and a huge new wall. They are subjected to curfews and incredible hardships by the Israeli Military.
