In this episode: (1) Commemoration of the life of pioneering Palestinian Gazan psychiatrist Eyad El-Sarraj; (2) The feverish pace of Israeli incursion: an extraordinary interview with Nancy Murray upon return from her 23rd journey to Palestine.
We get a frightening picture of what's going on right now in Palestine. The Israeli ideologues have been allowed to run free, with the all too obvious intent to capture every meaningful square inch of Palestine, "cleansing" the landscape by dispossessing native Palestinians. All this with major financial help from, and the abject approval of, the United States Government.
Nancy Murray is author of "Palestinians: Life Under Occupation" (1991) and many related articles right up to the present. In 2001, she co-founded the Gaza Mental Health Foundation (www.gazamentalhealth.org) in Boston to raise funds for mental health work in the Gaza Strip.
