This week in the feature presentation, we discuss a dream that became a reality under the most difficult circumstances in Palestine. The dreamer, Khitam Edelbi, is an expressive therapist, a graduate of Lesley University, who has returned to the Boston area from East Jerusalem to share her remarkable story and hopefully raise some needed funds to broaden her work with children, teachers and parents living under occupation. Khitam has been on This Week In Palestine before talking about her dream, but this is the first time she has been on since her dream became a reality.
Before that, we begin this week with an analysis by the independent journalist, Jonathan Cook, who lives and works in Nazareth. His concern: the perpetual fear mongering of Benjamin Netanyahu. Here he writes: (Jonathan Cook article).
Also: We often refer to Israel as an apartheid state, where Jim Crow style discrimination is practiced against the Palestinian people, and are often taken to task by Zionists who accuse us of exaggeration or worse. So from time to time we just cite incidents and facts that we think make the apartheid case. Here is a Mondoweiss article based on a report by the Israeli human rights organization BâTselem. It is a report on how Israelâs discriminatory policies are imposed even into the West Bank area A, which, theoretically, is under the control of the Palestinian Authority, not Israel. Here is how the Israeli military expelled 200 Palestinians from a pool in their own village to allow Israeli settlers to bathe in a segregated situation. (Mondoweiss report).
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 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; earlier editions are obtainable from radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR has been airing a lot of Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.) We hope you'll write to us at tjr@bluebottle.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
