Just Peace
Mondays, 6pm - 7pm EST ----- WRFG-Atlanta 89.3 FM
The conflict is not just "over there." It influences United States' foreign and domestic policy, the federal budget and budget priorities, and affects many communities in the US with ties to the Middle East. The US government gives Israel billions of dollars annually, defines its relationship with Israel as 'special' and, at the same time, envisions itself an active peace-broker in the region. As a result, US citizens have a responsibility to understand the conflict and to push our government to implement a acceptable and just policy.
Special Premiums for our 2013 Summer Fund Drive....tomorrow on Just Peace!!! A CSA and Summer Youth Camp opportunities (see below)
This week on Just Peace, we will talk with Ilise Cohen and other members of Interfaith Peace-Builders (IPB) about their most recent delegation trip to Palestine and Israel. The delegation returned from the Middle East this past Tuesday, June 18th.
Interfaith Peace-Builders sends delegations to Israel/Palestine so that residents of North American can see the conflict with their own eyes. Participants have the opportunity to learn directly from Israeli and Palestinian nonviolent peace/human-rights activists, to spend time in Palestinian and Israeli homes, and to experience the situation of Palestinians living under military occupation. The delegations focus on seeing, listening to, and recording the experiences and perspectives of a wide range of Palestinians and Israelis.This week on Just Peace, we will talk with Ilise Cohen and other members of Interfaith Peace-Builders (IPB) about their most recent delegation trip to Palestine and Israel.

General Programming Policy in WRFG's by-laws: WRFG is a community-oriented, educational, alternative medium and our programming must reflect this. We are for those alternatives that uplift human dignity and give people more control over their lives. WRFG is opposed to those forces in our lives that dehumanize and oppress people, especially economic exploitation, racism, sexism, militarism and anti-foreign/anti-immigrant chauvinism.
