“Among the Palestinians.”

“Among the Palestinians.”

My travels, encounters, and work in the West Bank as reounted with Patrick Baab, the distinguished German journalist.

…. All Palestinian children know someone who has been arrested, they know someone who’s been imprisoned, someone who’s been shot, someone who’s now an amputee, someone who’s been killed….”

“…. My government is controlled by the Israel lobby. We have to break the control of Zionism. Jews of the world should pull their support from Israel. The idea of a Jewish State was a mistake….”

When I was in Switzerland as summer began to turn into autumn, Patrik Baab, the German broadcast journalist, asked me to sit down for an exchange about my travels and work in the West Bank. It was a wide-ranging conversation about the people I have met, the reporting I do, the escalation of Zionist violence throughout the West Bank, the necessity of international law as a prerequisite to justice, holding Israel accountable for genocide through a war crimes tribunal—altogether the need to dissolve and dismantle the Zionist state.

Patrik, who now produces the podcast Gegen Den Strom, “Against the Current,” has just published the video of our interview, and this is available on YouTube, as above. He conducted the interview in English; the program’s brief introduction and conclusion are in German. Please share it with others.
