A historic vote took place last March 18 at University of California Berkeley. Its student senate voted 14-4 to demand that UC divest from industries involved in war crimes. This vote succeeded in the face of vicious harassment from ADL, AIPAC, etc, and was then vetoed by the senate president, who had not even attended the 7-hour debate. His grounds: insufficient debate! After news highlights, Salma interviews UC grad student Ibraham Shikaki, one of the yes-votes.

This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is (normally) a three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization, and now bombing, devastation, imprisonment, and murder, of their homeland, thanks in part to U.S. taxpayer funding.
It's part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming (and also archived for two weeks) at wzbc.org. Our website, truthandjusticeradio.org, links to audio archives of 2008-2010 editions of This Week In Palestine; even more editions are obtainable at the URL "tinyurl.com/twiplist2" which links to our postings on radio4all.net.
The most important message we repeat is that all caring humans must GET INVOLVED!
