On this week's Close to Home, the 3nd episode in a series on the Israel-Hamas war, host Maureen Schwab welcomes back Claire Schaeffer-Duffy, founding member of the Saints Francis & Therese Catholic Worker, to examine the wider context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This week, they discuss how the Palestinian Genocide is perpetuated by and affects us as American citizens, whose tax dollars fund the bombs used to target Palestinian civilians and completely level civil infrastructure in Gaza, and whose politicians and media cover for the atrocities carried out with impunity by the Israeli government. Finally, they look to how we can help raise awareness, change the national narrative, and find a peaceful solution that respect the rights and dignity of all peoples living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
