Episode 53 - What’s the story in Sheikh Jarrah? With Noa Pinto

* The episode was recorded prior to Israel's Supreme court's decision to postpone the eviction of the families.

** Shimon Ha'Tzadik (Shimon the just) was a high priest who was buried where is now located Sheikh Jarrach.

There is never a dull moment in Israel and it seems that the place that ignited the last round of violence in May, the small neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah is once again a place of a clash between hard right-wing Jews and the local Palestinians. What is happening there and why? For that, we have Noa Pinto to explain. Noa is a Jerusalemite social justice, climate, and peace activist, a part of “Free Jerusalem” group activists, and a former associate at “Ir Amim”, a not-for-profit organization for an equitable and stable Jerusalem with an agreed political future.
