From Aotearoa to Palestine: Discussing Foreign Policy for Solidarity

Our third episode of Te Kuaka concentrates on the relationship between Aotearoa and Palestine. 

Host, Phoebe Carr, is joined by Nadia Abu-Shanab and Samira Archer from Justice for Palestine, and Marilyn Garson from Alternative Jewish Voices to discuss the situation in Palestine, what foreign policy for solidarity with Palestine would look like, and how building solidarity with Palestine is tied to creating a better world for everyone.

You can find Nadia and Samira's organisation Justice for Palestine on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

Alternative Jewish Voices is Marilyn Garson's organisations website. You can read her blog posts on Palestine policy here and here, and her book: Still Lives - a memoir of Gaza.
