Get Over It but Never Forget

Lara E. and Mikey B.
About this episode

This week Lara and Michael talk about the four youths murdered by the occupation in 24 hours. We cover the story of Jewish worshippers who flipped a Palestinian car on Yom Kippur (not the traditional method of celebration). Lara recaps the case of a 13-year-old Gazan child shot 17 times, and the colonial courts' legal justification for murdering children. We cover Katie Halper being censored and fired from The Hill for calling the occupation an apartheid state, and how this is a consistent pattern among media bosses to fire anyone who speaks out for Palestine. We shed light on the situation unfolding at Berekely Law School and provide an update on the Palestine Action trials. We briefly cover the nauseating video uploaded by Nas daily. We end by discussing the documentary released by pod alums Vin Arfuso and Anwar Hadid, called Walled Off.
