Eyewitness Debbie Flack

In this episode we meet Debbie Flack, who volunteered to act as an eyewitness to the daily struggles and unjust treatment the Israelis are subjecting the Palestinians to on a daily basis. Now, we know what you’re thinking, not a funny topic, and what are the two village idiots doing, wading into geopolitics? Rest assured, there are plenty of laughs in this episode; thanks mostly to the quality of our guest, and several flocks of sheep. You’ll come away more informed about the Israel Palestine conflict, which was honestly not our intention, but is no bad thing.We talk about Debbie’s personal journey, her motivation, and the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) the organisation behind the trip. (Not easy for Tweedle Dum to say….)There are some brilliant blogs by EAPPI volunteers, the links below. They give voice to ordinary Palestinian’s about how life is severely restricted for them under the Israeli occupation. We’d urge you to read just one or two to give you a better idea of what the organisation does, what they stand for and why they’re trying to help. As usual, with The looking For A Third Podcast, this is a fascinating, engaging and funnier episode than you might think. The halfwits do a great job of walking the line between downright silly and somewhat serious.https://www.eyewitnessblogs.com/https://www.eappi.org/en/https://www.quaker.org.uk/our-work/eappi#volunteerSupport the showThe music is Tropicalia do Norte by El Equipo Del Norte.
