Ironically, emphasizing the need for this very forum, there were serious attempts by the Zionist lobby to prohibit it from taking place, including an unsuccessful lawsuit! Today we will hear Professor and forum organizer Sut Jhally, distinguished activist Angela Davis, moderator Vijay Prashad, and Nation columnist Dave Zirin. Next week we will feature the other speakers, Linda Sarsour, Roger Waters, and Marc Lamont Hill.
After all of this, we read Nada Elia's comments in Mondoweiss on the heartbreak of learning that freshly elected Congress member Ayanna Pressley has now revealed herself as "Progressive except Palestine" by voting with AIPAC to condemn BDS, and then flimsily defending her vote. [Our very own area's longtime U.S. Representative Katherine Clark did exactly the same.]
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 is 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 archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net. 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. Stay tuned!
