Our feature presentation is an interview of Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe, by British journalist Peter Bolton on the Canary Channel in the United Kingdom. (UKâs Canary has nothing whatever to do with The Israeli Lobbyâs Canary Mission Black List. The Canary is a left-leaning UK-based online publication and is generally critical of Israel and is pro-Palestinian in its coverage.) Among the issues thoroughly discussed: why Pappeâs âone democratic stateâ is right and achievable, especially versus the so-called âtwo-state solutionâ advocated by Professor Norman Finkelstein and numerous US politicians. Reference is made to the analogous issue in South Africa.
Before that interview, we read an unsettling Mondoweiss article by our former co-host Samer Jaber. He recounts his courageous speaking out and the PA's outrageous punishment of him for doing so. Worse, after his friend suggested to NGO donors to the PA that they postpone their funding until after the legislative elections that Abbas had summarily canceled, his friend was abducted and murdered by PA "security."
