Israel is spending millions of dollars to squash campus organizing and campus educational programs that challenge the fraudulent Israeli narrative. Criticism of Israel is labeled anti-Semitic, and that trope triggers a reflexive response to once again make Israel the victim rather than the aggressor. The fact that the Lobby has the US government in its pocket is not exactly news. This week we examine the work of the Palestinian grassroots uprising which is challenging Israel's outrageous military occupation. We feature a recording of a webinar sponsored by The Foundation for Middle East Peace featuring its director, Lara Friedman, and its non resident Fellow, Peter Beinart, discussing campus censorship with Dimi Khalidi of Palestine Legal.
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.
