We’ll spend this hour with voices and reflections on Israel’s bombardment of Gaza with some of the powerful voices in our communities. We’ll start with Nadya Tannous, who has been organizing to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, as a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement. She is a passionate community organizer and writer, born and raised in the Bay Area. Nadya is also the Deputy Director of Honor The Earth, an Indigenous-led Environmental Justice organization tackling climate disaster at its root causes. This reflection was recorded at an event at Berkeley’s La Peña cultural center on November 19th, called Thangs Taken: Rethinking Thanksgiving. You’ll hear Nadya draw connections between indigenous movements here in the colonized united states and in Palestine.

Then, we go to longtime Bay Area activist and educator Rick Ayers. Rick publishes writing on a personal blog every once in a while. We saw his most recent post about the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, called Echoes of the American War in Vietnam, and so, we invited him to contribute it as a commentary to Law & Disorder.

Then, we move to Oakland rapper, musician, and fillmaker Boots Riley, from a speech given during the Jewish anti-zionist occupation of the Oakland federal building that took place on November 20th.
Finally, our co-host and producer Jesse Strauss will close out the hour with his own commentary.
