1.  Therese Mughannam and 2. Lois Pearlman talk with Elaine about the National Sabeel Conference in which they participated yesterday on, “Defending Our Children from Palestine to the USA.”  The Conference was sponsored by Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) and the North Coast Coalition for Palestine, of which Therese and Lois are members. Therese and Lois recount how they came to be active in expressing these concerns, not only of the harm being done to children in Palestine by the armed conflict but also in Yemen and other hot spots around the world, in in our own country and at its borders with the migrants with their children fleeing armed conflict, in which the USA has played a military role, and being detained in private prisons contracted by Homeland Security or tear-gassed.  The budget prioritizing National Defense has resulted in the exponential growth of homelessness in the United States, which includes families of workers who are not making even a living wage from their employers.  This begs the question,do we as a nation’s people really Care of our Future Growing in our Children?

About our Guest: Therese Mughannam is a Palestinian American, born in Jerusalem Palestine months before her country was partitioned by the UN in 1948 and over half of it given to the Jewish people to create the state of Israel.

Therese is a human rights activist, telling the story of Palestinians from a personal perspective and standing up for the rights of all humans who are oppressed.
