Levy is a respected award-winning Israeli journalist and author. In this address, he laments the hypocrisy of those who claim Israeli values relating to Ukraine -- versus those in Palestine. Israel claims to be "special" and therefore not bound by others' rules of war or human rights. So among the millions who are fleeing Ukraine, Israel welcomes only the Jewish. Others must pay a fee of $3000 and may stay only 30 days. So Israelis applaud the youth of Ukraine who throw so-called Molotov cocktails at Russian troops, while Palestinian miscreants who make a Molotov cocktail or even possess one are brutally beaten, horrifically imprisoned, or killed instantly. Levy goes on from there.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour 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. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR airs occasional 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.
