Our feature presentation this morning deals with the Palestinians who are, or were, in refugee camps in Syria, most of whom are now displaced once again by the war raging throughout Syria. What is happening to them? We have two presentations by Wasam Sabani and Nidal Vitari, who spoke at the Palestine Center in Washington, DC.
Before that, we read from two articles.
The first article is a follow-on of the grisly firebombing, perpetrated by Jewish extremists, that killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabshe and his father. The article is entitled "Self-defense patrols form in West Bank as PA fails to protect Palestinians following Duma firebombing." It's posted at mondoweiss.net/2015/08/palestinians-following-firebombing.
The second article relates to the ongoing harassment of the Bedouins, this time in East Jerusalem. Already displaced by the Nakba, Bedouins who choose to build new homes for themselves are confronted by refusal of permits to build. If they build anyway, the new home will be demolished before long. By contrast, Israeli settlers build whatever they want with complete impunity.
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.
