Kalam Edgar Mannheimer

Earlier this week, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received standing ovations as he spoke at the US Congress in Washington DC.
He was applauded, while he is accused of a series of war crimes by the International Criminal Court in the Hague, which is imminently expected to issue an arrest warrant against Netanyahu.
Abdelghany Sayed is an expert on International Law and a teacher of it at Kent University in London. In this episode, he speaks to Edgar about the role of International Law when it comes to the Palestinian issue, and whether or not we should put our faith into it.

"How can you be gay and support Palestine?" is a question that bugs Swedish club icon Fredrik "Apollo" Asplund. For him, it's obvious - the 1969 Stonewall Riots (protesting New York police harassing the city's queer communities) and the Palestinian Intifada are about the same struggle for freedom and dignity.
In the 80's and 90's gay people were killed in the millions by AIDS. Today, the people of Gaza are subjected to genoc!de. For Apollo - the solidarity is clear.
Listen to Edgar speak to his old friend Apollo - born in Kiruna but who made his way to New York, Paris, Mexico, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
