Why go against the grain? Today, renegade Israeli journalist and activist Haggai Matar presents startling revelations about Israeli editors' censorship of honest reporting of stories where Palestinians are involved.
Matar is Executive Director of a publication company which publishes a blog-based web magazine in English titled "+972" and a parallel publication published in Hebrew titled "Local Call." Both publications are known for their critical coverage of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Haggai has been on tour in the US, and appeared in several venues in the Boston area. Today you will hear his recent presentation In Lincoln, MA. First comes his main presentation. It's followed by excerpts from the question and answer period.
972 is the international country code for phoning Israel and Palestine. To read +972 Magazine, go to 972mag.com.
