Crossing The Line host Christopher Brown speaks with attorney and activist Huwaida Arraf. Arraf, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, speaks about the victory for the residents of Bil’in village. The Israeli high court on 4 September ruled that the apartheid wall must be rerouted near the town. Every Friday for the past two years residents of Bil’in, as well as Israeli and international peace activists, have staged nonviolent protests against the wall. The Israeli occupation forces almost always used rubber-coated steel bullets, sound grenades and teargas against the crowd. Brown speaks with Arraf about the use of non-violent resistance in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Later, Brown speaks with Caoimhe Butterly, a journalist and activist who has documented the events in Lebanon since the fighting in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp began in May. Butterly speaks with Brown from Baddawi refugee camp about the current living conditions of the displaced Palestinians and how the Lebanese and other governments are addressing the issue.
As always, Crossing the Line begins with “This week in Palestine,” a service provided by The International Middle East Media Center.
