Episode notes

The Balfour Declaration was written by the government of Britain to the Rothschild family, providing them that they would like to make Palestine a homeland for Jews. The past 80 years has been a very painful struggle if you happen to not be Jewish. My wife is also Palestinian refugee from Lebanon and her family was evicted from Yafa - which is today on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Their homes are being lived, they got kicked out of their homes and their lands and their property. So my children, you know, it's an ongoing tragedy. I don't have a home anywhere.
