Today we feature excerpts from the Left Forum, which was held in New York City this past May of 2016 at John Jay College. In particular we focus on a panel on Israel/Palestine moderated by Paul Jay of the Real News Network out of Baltimore, with panelists Tariq Ali and Norman Finkelstein. Once again we are unable to cover this complete panel in one broadcast, so this is part 1 of 2. We'll broadcast part 2 of this Left Forum Panel next week on This Week In Palestine.
We begin with the introduction of the panel by Paul Jay who will introduce Ali and Finkelstein, then pose questions for discussion. Topics include the fundamental corruption of the PA, one-state versus two-state, and BDS.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning 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 of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; earlier editions are obtainable from radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR has been airing Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.) We hope you'll write to us at stanrob@world.oberlin.edu if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
