The issue we explore this week is water â¦water justice in Palestine/Israel, and how that relates to Massachusetts. We have two presentations recorded at a forum on water that took place October 2nd at Tufts University. The first presents an historical perspective of the Israeli/Palestinian water struggle by Elaine Hagopian. The second is a description by Nancy Murray of a local campaign to challenge a compact by Israel and Massachusetts to collaborate on water issues.
The introduction of the speakers is by Tufts Professor Amahl Bishara, who is also a Palestinian Activist.
Israel has arrogated to itself the "right" to control a vastly disproportionate fraction of water resources available in historic Palestine, leaving only drops for non-Jews. Presumably cognizant of this fact, top politicians in our very own state of Massachusetts are proposing to enter into a collaborative agreement with Israel as regards water.
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.
