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. |
