The Miko Peled Podcast

One of the most courageous and clear voices in the world of American activists, a hero to many of us, Ann Wright!

"A cemetery for the living," that is how Munther Amira describes the Israeli prison. In his 40 years of unarmed resistance Munther has been arrested, beaten and tortured more time than he can remember. This time, he says, is far, far worse than anything he has ever experienced. Trigger warning - some of the things he describes are extremely hard to hear.

 Haneen Zoabi served for 10 years in the Israeli Knesset, representing the Palestinian party Balad. Listen to her speak about life of Palestinian citizens of Israel living under apartheid.

Palestinian, Woman, Mother, Activist all in one. Many Tamimi has lived the horror of having her children torn away from her and the uncertainty of whether or not the enemy killed, injured or merely tortured them. This is her story!

Palestinians denied entry to the Old City of Jerusalem, harassment by settlers and soldiers and an increase in the efforts to complete the ethnic cleansing of the Capital of Palestine, Alquds/Jerusalem

"Silence is also a price," Rabbi Feldman said to me when we met at a protest for Palestine. He was telling about members of the Ultra Orthodox community in the US who had lost jobs for speaking out about Palestine and against Zionism. He is a fascinating man and I must say I learn a great deal from him every time we talk. 

Do we vote for the lesser of two evils again or for a third party candidate. If we decide on third party then which one? In this episode I ask Dr. Jill Stein about this and many other topics.

My friend and comrade Dr. Yousef Al-Jamal and I talk about Gaza, Palestine, his family history and the much beloved, recently murdered, Dr. Reefat Alareer.

The African American- Palestinian solidarity has al long history but as a movement it seems that it has never caught on widely. I discuss this with Dr. Gerland Horne.
