Understanding Israel Palestine
This show is inspired by Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, a local group that has advocated for 20 years for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. Our program offers interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to offer multiple perspectives, and to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by headline news.
We celebrate Americans who support the Palestinians’ fight for equality and justice, who take actions aimed at ending the violence of the occupation. In my conversation with Rabbi Brant Rosen he explains his response to the August 2022 Israeli assault on Gaza. Rosen is Rabbi of Tzedek Chicago, whose congregation recently declared their opposition to Zionism. And we hear Caroline Hunter, longtime activist, who fought apartheid in South Africa and now continues her activism in Cambridge, Massachusetts in support of Palestinians.
