Slava Palestina! with Yara Eid

The Palestine Pod

This week Lara and Michael sit down with student, activist, and burgeoning journalist 22 year old Yara Eid who comes to us from Gaza, Palestine. She takes us through the events of the latest Israeli assault of August 6-8, 2022 when Israeli shelling and bombardement mercilessly killed over 45 Palestinians including 16 children. She describes the impact of this assault on people and animals in Palestine, sharing with us several horrific scenes her and her news team witnessed, including Israeli attacks on a watermelon horse cart driven by a man bringing groceries and cake back to his family, a cemetery, and Jabaliya refugee camp. Yara shares with us her disappointment and frustration after being subject to racist interviewing by an RT reporter who both sides-ed her as the Apartheid state shelled her neighborhood. We cover the assassination of resistance leader Ibrahim Nabulsi earlier this week. Lara remarks that resistance fighters like Nabulsi are the real leaders of the Palestinian struggle. Michael jokes about the IOF and veganism.
