Guantanamo Madlibs

Lara E. and Mikey B.
About this episode

This week Lara and Michael discuss the occupation's failed invasion of Jenin. We cover the thousands of refugees who are made refugees again by the colonial entity as well as the twelve deaths and over one hundred wounded by the occupation ground invasion and air strikes on occupied Jenin. The media ran with zionist propaganda that dehumanizes Palestinians. We also cover the story of French police reaching out to occupation forces for tips on how to better oppress after riots have shaken many French cities in the wake of the police murder of 17-year-old Algerian boy, Nael.
