Drop Student Debt

Rich Hilliard quizzes Theresa Alt of DSA's National Political Committee about student debt and what people can do. It is a huge issue, though income-based repayment plans give some very limited relief.

Palestine: Facts vs. the Media

Jeff Cohen visited the occupied West Bank of Palestine and witnessed how Israeli settlers try use vandalism and violence to intimidate the Palestinian population in an attempt to drive them out. The government of Israel condones the crimes. But Palestinians and some Israelis are working together for human rights. The US media follows the line of the Israeli government, more one-sidedly than even the Israeli media. Recorded October 9, 2013.

Ariel Gold, Local Coordinator of Jewish Voice for Peace, tells Wayles Browne about unjust policies of the Israeli government toward both Israeli citizens of Palestinian nationality and Palestinians living in the occupied territories. Israel uses both arrogance and violence in its attempt to drive Palestinians out of their homes. Americans can help Palestinians by joining the movement to boycott and divest.
