Today's show comes as two entirely independent presentations.
For the 1st part of today's show, we take a long look at Palestineâs premier institution of higher education, Birzeit University. Palestinians are among the highest educated people on the face of the Earth. That is the good news. The bad news is that after they get their many degrees, whether it be a BA, Masters degree, PhD, or whatever, there are few jobs and extremely limited opportunities in their field for them when they finish. However, despite the grim economic and career opportunities, Palestinians highly value education and families go to extraordinary sacrifices to educate their children. Its an amazing phenomenon for a country living under military occupation. And Birzeit University? It is rated in the top 3% of Universities in the world. Howâs that for an amazing statistic?
The president of Birzeit, Dr. Abdullatif Abuhilyea, tells us about the University and the vital role it plays in Palestinian society. He speaks at the Palestine Center in Washington, DC.
And now for something completely different. Our next presentation explores the early development of the relationship between the CIA and the Israeli Mossad. Investigative reporter and author Jefferson Morely speaks about his research which led to a book on James Angleton, the key person early on in the creation of CIA and the man most responsible in forging the close ties between the intelligence forces in the US and Israel. This is quite a story. Hang on. We present Morley speaking to an audience in Washington, DC.
The book: THE GHOST: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton. Go to JeffersonMorley.com to learn more about Morley, his books, and his blogs.
