Voices of the Middle East and North Africa

VOMENA March 29, 2019: The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East; and Yemeni Women Speak Out

This week, we speak with Eli Clifton, contributor editor of Lobelia, about the recent controversies surrounding Representative Ilhan Omar, who has been questioning the US’s unconditional support for Israel as well as the influence of AIPAC, the powerful lobby that is instrumental in shaping US foreign policy in the Middle East.

Later in the program, we’ll hear from 5 Yemeni women activists who speak about the impact that the war has had on their lives and how their view their role as Yemeni women, politically and socially.
