Today we feature a presentation by Shaina Low, just back from working the summer as a legal intern with the non-government organization BADIL in Bethlehem. Badil is the Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights.
Bred and raised Jewish, and now in law school, Shaina is not new to advocacy for Palestinian rights. She has traveled to the West Bank ten times, staying for as long as a year working with the Freedom Theater in Jenin. Shaina grew up in Lincoln, Massachusetts and attended the Lincoln public schools. She graduated from Columbia University, and is now beginning her second year at the SUNY school of law in New York.
This presentation was given to a packed house at the Lincoln Public Library.
She describes the vast obstacles facing Palestinians in the West Bank, for example in simply commuting to nearby towns in order to earn a living.
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; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR has been airing Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.) We hope you'll write to us at tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
