The Tragedy of the Car Accident and the Neglect of the World Ghetto

The podcast episode discusses a tragic car accident that occurred just outside of Jerusalem, where a bus filled with kindergartners was hit by a semi-trailer. The bus caught fire, and the children were evacuated by bystanders, as the Israeli authorities were slow to respond. This incident highlights the neglect and lack of municipal services in the world ghetto, a walled and impoverished area where Palestinians live. The book accompanying the podcast delves into the emotional and higher-order reasons behind why the author chose to write about this tragedy. It also sheds light on the day-to-day injustices faced by Palestinians under Israeli rule, aiming to bring attention to the need to address and dismantle the unjust system in place.
