We continue our coverage of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza as the death toll for Palestinian men, women and children has risen past 13,000. We start in conversation with Randa Wahbe, former staff member at Addameer, a Palestinian non-governmental, civil institution that has worked to support Palestinian political prisoners held in Israeli and Palestinian prisons since 1991. Randa is a Harvard PhD candidate whose research examines how Israel uses and exploits Palestinian dead bodies to surveil, control and continuously dispossess and incarcerate the Palestinian population. We’re also joined by Khury Petersen-Smith, Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he researches US empire, borders, and migration.

Then, we explore the Bay Area’s organizing in solidarity with Palestine with guest Lara Kiswani, the Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which organizes for racial and economic justice and the dignity and liberation of our Arab, and Muslim communities here in the Bay Area. Lara is also Palestinian.
