#3: Happy Birthday, Ahed Tamimi!

As Biggie says, birthdays was the worst days. In episode 03, Muna and Jams recount a birthday bash we threw for 17 year old Ahed Tamimi on the Global Day of Solidarity to Free the Tamimi Family. We talk about the Tamimis and the global reaction to “the slap heard around the world,” as well as the resistance village of Nabi Saleh, children in military detention abroad and kids here at home fighting for their lives in their own schools and streets. Plus we touch on the connections between the rise of racist fascism in the US with the current predicament of the ruling right in Israel. We also spotlight why the musician M.I.A. rules, recommend some delicious gift ideas fresh from Palestine and explain our tag line: Free Palestine, save Israel and defend the Americas. #FreeAhed
