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.
Rebecca Stein, Associate Professor of anthropology at Duke University and author of Screen Shots: State Violence on Camera in Israel and Palestine gives an overview of how cameras have been used in the Occupied Territories since 2014, from basic camcorders to smartphones. Three communities have pinned their hopes on making the recordings support their narratives: the IDF, the settlers, and the Palestinians. Stein explains why those hopes have not been fully realized.
