Palestine on WORT Radio
Podcast with Jeff Halper & Huwaida Arraf censored
J.G. Michael, Producer and Host of Parallax Views, reports that his recent podcast with Jeff & Huwaida has been flagged as “spam” and “hatespeech” on FaceBook. Michael says, “Both of you called for a one, democratic state solution. Nothing hateful. Neither of you made for expulsion of Jewish people from that land, but rather a call for Palestinians and Jews to be able to live together as equals. Again, neither of you said anything hateful. You both called for an end to violence and bloodshed. I’m devastated by this along with everything else happening.”
New Wisconsin coalition of pro-Palestinian groups responds to Israel-Hamas war
On Oct. 7, Hamas militants killed more than 1,400 people inside Israel and took hostages. Since then, Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed more than 2,700 people. We’re joined by two members of a Wisconsin coalition of Jews and Muslims calling for peace and a religious studies professor.
