Podcast #108
from The Peter B Collins Show Hosted by Collins Media Services
Voices for justice for the Palestinians. Part 1 of a 2 part series of interviews from activists who participated in the Sabeel Conference held March 5 and 6 in Marin County, California. Sabeel means "The Way" in Arabic, and this conference brought a range of participants from around the world. PBC opens the program with an update on concessions from Palestinian leaders, agreeing to hold indirect talks with Israel; just 24 hours later, VP Joe Biden arrived in Israel to a defiant announcement: Israel says it will build 1600 more housing units in E. Jerusalem, ignoring demands from the Obama administration to stop the illegal construction. This podcast features: --Prof. Hisham Ahmed of St. Mary's College, who was born in a refugee camp and became a Fulbright scholar; --Rev. Don Wagner of North Park U in Chicago, an expert on Christian Zionists; --Sama Adnan, founder of NewPolicy.org, which has started a political action committee to support Congress members who have a balanced position on Israel-Palestine issues; --Omar Barghouti, a founding member of the Palestinian Civil Society Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel; --Anna Baltzer, an American Jew and articulate advocate for the rights of the Palestinians. Part 2 will be released in the next day or two.
