Tale of two occupations

<p>We sit down this week to cover news stories from the ground. Lara and Michael discuss the murder of Nizar Banat, a fierce defender of freedom of speech and Palestinian human rights by the Palestinian Authority. We cover the story of Palestinian political prisoner and administrative detainee, held without charge for no crime, Ghandafar Abu Atwan who successfully secured his release after 65 days on a hunger strike. We cover the continued torture and medical experimentation on political prisoner Iyad Hraibat, as well as the occupation's unwillingness to let the Jarrar family grieve the sudden death of Suha Jarrar in peace. We shout out the successful resistance in Beita and recall the continued demolitions in occupied Silwan. We wrap up by noting that even Evangelicals and Jews in the US are falling out of love with the occupation leading the Zionists to desperately recruit new settlers from Brazil and other South American countries for the settler-colonial project known as Israel.</p> <p> </p>
