5: ISM volunteer experiences on the frontlines
Manage episode 354510822 series 3444869
In the fifth episode of the International Solidarity Movement podcast we are joined in the village of At-Tuwani by two ISM volunteers - Herbie and Maria - who both spent several months volunteering as internationalists in Palestine. They tell us from a personal perspective what it's like to be an international volunteer in Palestine, and especially in the South Hebron Hills. ISM is focusing it's presence here because of to the ongoing demolitions of Palestinian homes and infrastructure by the Israeli occupation.
We ask Herbie and Maria what brought them to Palestine, what they would say to people who are thinking of joining ISM but aren't sure yet, and also what it's been like witnessing some of the violence of the occupation.
