In this one-hour edition, we take on the bias of American media on the presentation of news and analysis concerning the Israel/Palestine issue. We do so by tapping the words of two very special journalists.
First up is Palestinian journalist, author and screen writer, Rula Jebreal (sometimes cited as âRual Jebrealâ). She was fired successively by Italian TV, Egyptian media, and MSNBC, in each case for doing her job honestly. She explains this and more in a recent interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. Then we'll hear her keynote speech at the recent Washington DC conference on the Influence of Israel. Rula's website is rulajebreal.com.
We finish with a presentation made at that same conference by veteran journalist Philip Weiss, co-founder of Mondoweiss.net. He takes on the New York Times.
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; editions are also accessible at 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 tjradio@fastmail.com if you rebroadcast our work, or have questions or comments.
