The Tantura Massacre

<p>On this episode of The Palestine Pod, Lara and Michael do a deep dive into firsthand accounts/primary sources of the massacre at Tantura. We cover it both from the testimonies of the perpetrators and the few people who survived. Lara reads a survivor's account included in The Palestinian Right of Return Under International Law. Michael dissects footage from an upcoming documentary Tantura that just premiered at Sundance as well as the attempts by Dr. Illan Pappe and masters student Theodore Katz to bring the horrors of the massacre to light, and everything the Israeli government did to silence those who dared to speak out. We cover the demolition of the Salhiya family home and provide updates on what has been happening in Sheikh Jarrah since much of the world stopped paying attention.  We talk about the occupations war on Palestinian elders, the ADL asking Israel to tone down the terrorism, a brief update on the Burnat brothers, and we end with updates on the successes of Palestine Action in their efforts to kick Elbit Systems out of the UK. </p>
