The Problem With "Peace Projects" In Palestine

For this bonus episode I'm going to be doing something I've rarely done on this show, I'm not going to interview anyone. This is me speaking with no notes or preparation, just off the cuff and from the heart about some issues that have weighed heavily on me for a long time, issues that I think a lot of people in my line of work are afraid to talk about, especially in the US. It deals with why we rarely see Western media and Western nonprofits representing the perspectives of Palestinian youth with any depth or nuance. I first recorded the following remarks as a video on my phone. If you want to watch the video version you can do so by visiting the original Facebook post.
