Palestinian life in prolonged war: Boyan’s impressions from Israel and the West Bank, part 1

“On the Barricades” s06e37

In this weekend’s release of “On the Barricades,” regular hosts Boyan Stanislavski and Maria Cernat speak with Youri Smouter of 1+1. The discussion is launched after Boyan’s return from a trip to Israel and Palestine, where he was with a group of journalists invited by an EU organization in the West Bank called EUPOL COPPS.

In this first release we hear Boyan’s personal impressions from this profoundly impactful time in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Here with a heavy police and military presence and frequent terrorism, a major escalation of violence is continually in the air and has become a part of peoples’ lives – in a way an Eastern European leftist can only begin to comprehend.
