FLASHPOINTS

Netta and Maya - Shministim

We’ll update parallel legal investigations into Bush administration torture, one being carried out by a special prosecutor of the US, and another investigation coming out of Spain; also, the battle for health care continues as the extreme right wing dominates the dialogue, we’ll speak to a powerful advocate of single-payer; plus, young Israeli women talk about why they refuse to collaborate with the illegal Israeli occupation; confronting stereotypes and cross-cultural identity within a brand-new one-woman performance called I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I’m Afraid to Tell You; and the Knight Report.
