Professor Kovel is author of Overcoming Zionism: Creating a Single Democratic State in Israel/Palestine (2007).
His websites are joelkovel.org and codz.org.
The book is absolutely fundamental for those who reject the unfortunate confusion between Jews, Judaism, Zionism and the State of Israel -- a confusion which is the basis for systematic manipulation by the imperialist power system.
In this special 60-minute extended edition, we discuss recent developments, including the Goldstone report and U.S. officialdom's knee-jerk rejection of it.
Joel Kovel, Producer Stan Robinson (standing in for host Sherif Fam), John Grebe, Ken Barney, and the entire staff of WZBC (Newton, MA).
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is (normally) a 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, and now bombing, devastation, imprisonment, and murder, of their homeland, thanks in part to U.S. taxpayer funding.
It's part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-9:30am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming (and also archived for two weeks) at wzbc.org. Our website, truthandjusticeradio.org, links to audio archives of 2008/2009 editions of This Week In Palestine; most editions are also obtainable from radio4all.net by typing "This Week In Palestine" into the search box.
The most important message we repeat is that all caring humans must GET INVOLVED!
