Oregon State University Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights hosted a panel discussion with independent journalists Rania Khalek, Abby Martin (The Empire Files), and Mnar Muhawesh (MintPress News) to discuss Syria, Palestine, and Yemen in a way the mainstream media refuses to cover.
Perspectives on Palestine, Syria, and Yemen – Abby Martin, Mnar Muhawesh, Rania Khalek
Abby Martin joins The Tim Black Show for an hour to share her insights from her investigation in the West Bank, Palestine. They discuss Trump’s escalation of the crisis, the history and brutality of the occupation, human rights violations committed against Palestinians, treatment of African refugees and Ethiopian Jews in the country, reality of a “two state” solution and how people can become advocacy journalists to bring the truth about US Empire to the masses.
I joined comedianLee Campto talk about my experiences in Palestine seeing the brutal Israeli occupation and apartheid regime firsthand, how Steve Bannon serves as Trump’s brain and why his ideology is so dangerous, and why the corporate media is terrible for democracy on his awesome RT showRedacted Tonight.
Abby Martin and Lee Camp Reveal the Truth Behind the Headlines
In a rare, candid conversation, Abby Martin interviews a former Israeli Army combat soldier who served as an occupier in Palestine’s Hebron City.
Eran Efrati spent years as a sergeant and combat soldier in the Israeli military, but has since become an outspoken critic of the occupation of Palestine and Israeli apartheid.
Efrati gives explosive testimony on the reality of his service and explains how war crimes are institutionalized, as well as how systematic the oppression against Palestinians really is in a war of conquest that will no-doubt be accelerated under the Trump Administration.
Abby Martin goes on-the-ground to the epicenters of state-backed settler terrorism in Palestine’s West Bank, in Part II of her report on illegal Israeli settlements.
Israel’s massive expansion of illegal settlements, built on stolen land and demolished Palestinian homes, is advanced by extreme violence from both the state forces and the settlers.
But the attacks on innocent Palestinians by Israeli settlers goes far beyond fists and rocks.
This installment visits both the rural countryside of Duma—interviewing the surviving members of the Dawabsheh family, victims of a horrific arson attack that left three dead—and the urban center of Hebron, a glaring example of Israeli apartheid under intense military occupation.
