PP#26 – Shaun O’Neill on ‘Separate Lives: Stories of everyday life from the Occupied West Bank’ [2018-01-19] – (Download here)
INFO:
Join podcast-maker and student Shaun O’Neill on a journey around Jerusalem and the West Bank – Bethlehem and Ramallah – undertaken in Dec 2017 just days after Donald Trump’s illegal decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US embassy there. He speaks to locals and reflects on how life plays out there these days, in a place under brutal military occupation. The piece includes a short interview with Usama Nicola from Palestinian NGO Wi’am in Bethlehem (the Palestinian Conflict Transformation Center) about their peaceful work in the region.
Thanks go out to Usama for giving his time and energy to a stranger who walks in off the street and starts snooping around his NGO, also Khalid for his excellent tour of Aida and Dheisheh refugee camps and for keeping us safe.
And to the wonderful people of Palestine who we met during our trip. This podcast is dedicated to them.
Some names have been changed to protect interviewees from potential reprisals.
