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.
Writer, anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper, co-founder of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, talks about the conpletion of the conquest of Palestine, the dire choices facing Palestinians, now restricted to non-contiguous bantustans on 15 prercent of the Occupied West Bank, and the irony in Jewish Israelis demonstrating en masse to save their democracy while ignoring the apartheid system that characterizes conditions in the Occupied Territories and Israel.
