"Cries for Intersectionality are at the center of organizing efforts for a host of social movements, the intersection of various liberation movements moving in solidarity against common oppressors. ... The movements for Black liberation and the movement for Palestinian liberation are front and center in this organizing effort. There is long history of these two movements allying together going all the way back to the civil rights era when SNCC publicly identified with the Palestinian liberation movement and subsequently lost almost all financial support from the Jewish community. ..."
That was from an article written by Rod Such and originally published in the Electronic Intifada.
Our feature presentation today is a talk given by Palestinian comedian and author Amer Zahr in the Palestine Center in Washington , DC. Amer Zahr has made quite a name for himself as a comedian who performs, literally, all over the planet. He is well known on US campuses, but also has performed in major theaters throughout the country including the Kennedy Center. In this presentation he also reads from his book âBeing Palestinian Makes Me Smile.â
Begun in 2004, 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. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. TJR is aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, also streamed live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's modest website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net. TJR sometimes airs 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.
