  • Israel’s Disengagement Plan from Gaza
    September 12  marks 14 years since the Israeli Defense Force carried out orders to evacuate all Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip. 
    This is known as the hitnatkut or the Gaza disengagement, and returned Gaza to the 1967 border lines. 
    in 2005 The plan was given formulated by PM Ariel Sharon which and ordered the settlers to disband their illegal outposts by August 8th of 2005 but after protesting and refusing to evacuate the Army was called to forcibly remove everyone from these illegal settlements. This episode will highlight a settlement called Gush Katif which was one of the 21 settlements in Gaza dismantled. Evacuating the land and returning it to the People of Gaza sounds like it was a step in the right direction...but like everything else in this region- its a bit more complicated than that.

  • Jomo Kenyatta and Huey P. Newton
    On August 22nd 1978, one of Kenya's founding fathers, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, passed away. 
    Kenyatta was one of the leaders who liberated Kenya from British Rule. He was a political activist, who traveled to the U.K. to protest the mistreatment of the Kikuyu people (ethnic group in Kenya) and all Kenyans. 
    He presented his case to Parliament but soon learned that he had to get within the system in order to change it. Once Kenya was liberated, Kenyatta become the first President (although he was PM while Kenya was under British Rule.) Popular for his progressiveness, vision and four wives, Kenyatta coined the term "Harambee" which still the phrase used for community.

Huey stood up against oppression and formed the Black Panthers Self Defense organization to inform black people of their rights and education black people all together.
