The feature presentation today is taken from a conference on the Israeli Lobby held in April, 2015 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The conference explored the power and influence of the Lobby. Over the next several weeks we will feature some of the voices from this conference. We start this today with our own Alice Rothchild, physician, author and film maker who has personally experienced the Israeli Lobbyâs push back against criticism of Israelâs occupation of the Palestinian people. We include not only her main presentation, but also her response to a couple of questions put to her following her speech.
Before that, we begin with an article written by Samer Jaber, who used to cohost This Week In Palestine when he was studying for his Masterâs Degree at Brandeis University and the JFK School of Government. He is now back in Palestine as a journalist and doing what he does best being an activist resisting the occupation. Samer wrote a piece on the struggle to find employment in occupied Palestine. Finding work is always a challenge. In Palestine it is a struggle. We no longer have Samerâs voice, but we do have his pen. Here is Samer writing on employment in Palestine. [Article is read.]
Here is Alice Rothchild speaking at the National press Club in Washington, DC. [Dr Rothchild speaks.]
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.
