Get Over It but Never Forget

The Palestine Pod

This week Lara and Michael talk about the four youth murdered by the occupation in 24 hours in the occupied West Bank. We cover the story reported by the Haaretz of Jewish Zionist worshippers who flipped over a Palestinian car on Yom Kippur (not the traditional method of celebration). Lara recaps the case of a 13-year-old Gazan child shot 17 times, and the colonial court’s nauseating attempt to intellectualize her murder and deny her family compensation despite finding that the Israeli so called commander violated international law adding to the endless pile of heinous crimes for which Israel has not been held accountable. We cover Katie Halper being censored and fired from The Hill for having prepared a monologue referring to the recent barrage of reports of international and Israeli institutions concluding that Israel is an Apartheid state, and how this latest effort to censor and silence a journalist is part of a well known pattern among media bosses in the mainstream media to fire anyone who speaks out for Palestinian human rights. We shed light on the situation unfolding at Berekely Law School and provide an update on the Palestine Action trials. We briefly cover the out of touch video uploaded by Nas Daily “both sidesing” settler colonialism and apartheid. We end with a word on the positive reception of the recent documentary by Pod alums Vin Arfuso and Anwar Hadid, Walled Off.
