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.
Lara Friedman, President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace speaks about tensions in Jerusalem as Palestinians, Jewish settlers, Israeli Police and IDF soldiers all staked their claims for control of the al Aqsa Mosque and its surrounding area in April 2022. The episode concludes with stories about artists who have stood in solidarity with Palestinians.
