I was not feeling well when I streamed with Dr. Renee Levant on 11/05. I was sick that week and have been recovering from being sick this week. Since two days was all I could afford to lose from my day job, that means my media work has suffered. I did promote the show at all last week except for retweeting the Twitter streamcast itself. I’m actually happy at the organic engagement it got without any promotion, but I am here promoting it now!
Dr. Levant and I spoke about the Palestinian resistance and her knowledge of the 10/7 offensive in her capacity as an American supporter of the Popular Front For the Liberation of Palestine. The PFLP is a secular, communist organization founded by a Christian. They participated in the offensive against the settler movement and I would invite everyone to listen carefully!
Sunday 11/19 at 8AM PST/11AM EST the stream returns! I will be rejoined by Renee Johnston, and we will be joined by Bess Goden, the creator of the “Millenialsplaining” Program. We don’t have a topic planned, but Palestine will come up for obvious reasons. I will also probably talk about education again, from the perspective of a student who didn’t care of the system. Renee can tell me where I am wrong and where I am right. The Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Jill Stein campaigns will probably come up, since Renee is a Green Party member. We will also address whatever news stories and social media misadventures have traumatized us sufficiently to be fresh in our memories!
I also did some writing on Patreon today. I was thinking about two basic questions, what a just peace in Palestine would look like and where do the Israeli Jews go, from an honest and ethical perspective. Ultimately I think it’s up to the Palestinians to answer questions of what the just peace looks like, and it’s up to Israeli Jews to decide where they want to go. Rather than answer these questions myself, I tried to provide the context in which the Palestinians have to make their decision, so that we can better understand the situation as Americans.
Well all this is news to me, lol. Maybe I was caught in a time warp that week. Glad you're better, and I'll watch back. ♥️
