| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Rev Left Radio. On today's episode we have on journalist |
| 0:11.8 | Jenna Martin who is based out of Montana but has went to the |
| 0:16.3 | West Bank to do on the ground first person journalism of the situation going on in the West Bank. |
| 0:23.2 | So recently we had on my friend Willie Massey, |
| 0:27.0 | who was a medical volunteer in Gaza |
| 0:29.1 | to get the perspective of what's going on in Gaza. |
| 0:31.6 | And I thought this would be a really wonderful |
| 0:33.7 | addition to that to have an on-the-ground journalist talk about their experiences in |

| 1:14.5 | and somebody who's doing real journalism. |
| 1:16.3 | In an era where we have corporate media pretending |
| 1:19.3 | to be journalists but are just sonographers for power, |
| 1:22.3 | we do have on the ground, you know, |
| 1:24.9 | guerrilla reporters doing the real journalism in this world. |
| 1:28.5 | And it's worth highlighting their work. |
| 1:32.0 | So that's what Jen is on today, and it's just a fascinating. highlighting their settlers, Palestinian humanity, their resistance to settle their incursions, their generosity, |
