This week we feature one of those historically great voices of the Palestinian people, Columbia University professor Edward Said, who passed away in 2003. He is recognized as one of the most prominent intellectuals of our time, and his interviews and writings are timeless. That is why we often return to Edward Said on this program. His voice needs to be heard today as much as when he was alive. He continues to teach. This morning you will hear Edward Said interviewed on Dutch television by Michael Zeeman, shortly before he died. It is a deeply personal interview, through which we learn much about this revered Palestinian intellectual and gifted musician.
Begun in 2004, This Week In Palestine (a weekly 8am feature of Truth and Justice Radio (TJR) is an award-winning 45-minute (or more) 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. TJR has been aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, also streamed live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's modest website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine's permanent archives back thru 1-6-2008. TJR sometimes airs 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.
