Middle Tennessee’s Palestinian community may not be as large as other ethnic groups in the region, but its roots go back decades.
The community has become increasingly visible in recent years, especially after public rallies in Nashville. In this episode, we meet a few local Palestinians and learn more about their common bonds and hopes for the future.
But first, the Tennessee legislature has adjourned — for the moment. We’ll review what happened during this contentious session, and what comes next, from WPLN political reporter Blaise Gainey.
Guests:
Dr. Abdallah Isa, longtime community member
Daoud Abudiab, founder and board president, Faith and Culture Center
Issam Bahour, attorney and community organizer
Rand Hasan, college student
Safa Khan, organizer of the April 16 pro-Palestine rally at the capitol
