Paradigm Shift (4ZZZ fm102.1 Fridys at Noon) on TBR23 For Palestine (2023 – 09 – 29). The Big Ride for Palestine remembers Olfat Mahmoud.
Andy: “Today on the show, we are going to be talking about Palestine. It’s not a new political issue. But it’s one that I think it’s worth touching back in on every now and then because pet for Palestinian people, they live it every day. And if you follow the news set, there’s constantly reports of violent attacks by settlers on Palestinian people and expanding of Israeli territory.”
We are talking about the ongoing dispossession, oppression, resilience and resistance of Palestinian people. We get an update from Lee Rhiannon who has just returned from Palestine, hear about the importance of Palestinian dakbe dancing from Sameer Ellagta, and replay an interview with Olfat Mahmoud – a legend of Palestinian humanitarian work who has sadly just passed away.
