Prosthetics for Palestine: Culture as Care, Art as Strategy and Poor News Magazine
Host Davey D checks in with producer Tarik “Eccentric” Kazaleh and singer-organizer Naima Shalhoub about Gaza’s ongoing crisis, the grassroots effort Prosthetics for Palestine, their instrumental collective Shadow Band, and a benefit show this Sunday in Danville.
Tarik explains Prosthetics for Palestine began as a family idea and, over the past year, has grown into a 30-plus person, grassroots project now operating as a campaign with Physicians for Palestine. With mass displacement and new amputations rising, mobility has become an urgent need. Due to severe restrictions on aid, only a trickle of supplies has reached Gaza, but the team has identified roughly ten amputees for immediate care once access opens. In the meantime, they are building parallel infrastructure in the West Bank and exploring clinics in Ramallah, Amman, or Cairo to stay nimble and effective.
Naima speaks to the emotional toll and the politics of gaslighting. She frames art as a center of gravity—where communities nurture truth, resist divide-and-conquer tactics, and build power together. Rather than pleading with unresponsive “small-p” power, she directs her voice to the people, emphasizing culture, spirituality, and solidarity tools like boycott, divestment, and sanctions. Both guests connect Palestine’s struggle with linked crises in Congo and Sudan, urging a unified, worker-centered response and more art in movement work.
Shadow Band—named with a wink at social-media “shadowbanning”—leans instrumental but carries a clear message through the events it supports. On Sunday, they headline a fundraiser for Prosthetics for Palestine at Peace Lutheran Church, 3201 Camino Tassajara, Danville. A vendor/wine reception runs 4–5 pm; music from 5–6:30 pm. Presale tickets are available via prostheticsforpalestine.org or physiciansforpalestine.org (calendar/campaign links route to the BetterWorld ticket page)
Hard Knock Radio is a drive-time Hip-Hop talk show on KPFA (94.1fm @ 4-5 pm Monday-Friday), a community radio station without corporate underwriting, hosted by Davey D and Anita Johnson.
