The Palestinian voice we feature this week is that of Yasser Abu Jamei, director of the Gaza Mental Health Program. He is the successor to Dr. Eyad El Saraj, who until his untimely death was the driving force and voice of the Gaza Mental Health Program, and who was often featured on This Week in Palestine. We spoke with Dr. Abu Jamei in an exclusive interview when he came to Boston on a speaking tour. Gaza, which has suffered many assaults by the Israeli military, is a traumatized population. No one in Gaza can escape the suffering brought on by the constant Israeli barrage, not even Dr. Jamei who in the latest assault named Protective Edge in the summer of 2014 lost 28 members of his family in a single bombing. Yet he and the staff of the Gaza Mental Health Program continue to serve the mental health needs of this traumatized society.
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.
