March 23, 2024 032324 Israel's Response in Gaza with Suzanne Aslam (Part 1)
Send us a Text Message.
This episode is our second installment of a two-part series that will see sympathizers of Israel and Palestine giving us updates on the war taking place in Gaza. Today’s guest is Suzanne Aslam, former Miss Arab USA, actress, activist, and a friend of the show. She has spent time in Palestine working with a peacekeeping team and has a deep, personal understanding of the occupation in Palestine. In the first half of today’s episode, we discuss the feelings in Pro-Palestinian circles now that global support has shifted away from Israel in support of Palestine. We also discuss Suzanne’s responses to some of what was discussed on last week’s episode about the narrative in Pro-Israeli circles.
