Following that, first, we'll hear Leila Farsakh, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, who is also a senior research fellow at Birzeit University in the West Bank of Palestine. Leila gives her Introduction and Overview of 100 years of the Balfour Declaration.
Then, as promised last week, we'll hear Nancy Murray, longtime activist for Palestinian Rights, a co-founder of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, and a key organizer of this Balfour Legacy Conference. Nancy speaks on the Consequences of the Balfour Declaration ... for the USA.
This is the FOURTH of five consecutive shows covering the conference "Balfourâs Legacy: Confronting the Consequences," held on November 11th at the First Parish Church in Cambridge MA.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly 8am feature of Truth and Justice Radio (TJR)) is an award-winning 45-minute (or more) 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.
