We interview author-activist and researcher Jennifer Loewenstein on the suffering in Gaza and the bombing.
She draws upon her impressive list of contacts in Palestine and in Gaza to draw a picture of what is happening.
We also discuss her current articles on Gaza in Counterpunch.
Jennifer Loewenstein is a Madison, Wisconsin, political activist and Associate Director of the Middle East Studies Program at the University of WisconsinâMadison, an administrative, not an academic, appointment. She is a member of the board of the Israeli Coalition against House Demolitions-USA branch, founder of the Madison-Rafah Sister City Project and a freelance journalist. Lowenstein is married to David Lowenstein, Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin.
Loewenstein lived in Israel in 1963 as a child when her father played first trumpet in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. She went back in 1981 as a junior in college, and returned as an adult, living in Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut and traveling in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where she worked for five months in 2002 at the Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza City.
