0:00.0	Welcome to the Empire Files podcast. This is Abby Martin here with Mike Prysner. Today we're
0:10.1	continuing our coverage of the crisis in Palestine. Like our last episode, this content is normally
0:16.1	locked for patrons only. But in the interest of educating as many people as possible about Palestine at this
0:21.9	really major turning point, we're making it available to everyone. So if you're a patron and
0:27.2	especially our new patrons, thank you for making this content possible. And if you're not a patron,
0:32.6	join us today at patreon.com slash empire files for exclusive podcast episodes.
0:39.7	In our last episode, we discussed the real breakthrough for Palestine in the U.S.
0:44.5	But an important component of this is what's happening within Israeli society amidst this shift.
0:51.4	Will the regime back down under pressure?
0:54.0	Or will they accelerate in Sheikh Jarrah,
0:57.4	Gaza, and elsewhere? To get that perspective, we're joined by someone who's in Jerusalem right now,
1:04.2	who some of you may know, my friend Miko Palled. If you don't know Miko, he's speaking on this topic
1:10.8	from a pretty significant background.
1:13.0	His grandfather is one of the founders of Israel, actually one of the signers of Israel's Declaration
1:18.6	of Independence. His father is one of Israel's most famous generals, who was a top military
1:25.4	leader during the 1967 war. In 1997, Miko's 13-year-old niece
1:31.7	was killed in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, and instead of that leading to hatred against
1:37.1	Palestinians, it started his life as a prominent activist for Palestinian human rights.
1:43.2	He's the author of General's son,
1:45.5	the journey of an Israeli and Palestine, and he does so much important work. We'll talk about
1:51.0	a little later. But first, Miko joins us from Jerusalem. Miko, thank you so much for joining
1:58.1	the Empire Files podcast. It's a pleasure to be with you, Abby. Thanks.
