In today's full-hour show, we feature a discussion with Palestinian Niam Ateek, Episcopal priest and director of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem. Others include Journalist Max Blumenthal (moderating), and Tarek Abuata of Friends of Sabeel North America.
Reverend Ateek tells of the horror when the Zionist soldiers came and evicted him (then age 11), his parents, and 9 siblings from their longtime home which they loved. They were allowed to take only what they could carry.
Later they were permitted a brief visit to the area. They hoped to visit that beloved home, but its Israeli occupants rudely turned them away.
This was a presentation of the Jerusalem Fund and Palestine Center. It is introduced by the moderator, Max Blumenthal.
