After a disinformation campaign by Israel and Joe Biden's White House, can ordinary Americans save UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees?

Yes. We're joined by Mara Kronenfeld, the Executive Director of UNRWA USA to talk about how, and to talk about her own Jewish left history beginning with her grandfather who survived the Holocaust, her dad's Appalachian roots, her time in Syria, Lebanon and Palestine and her work advocating for Palestinian refugees.

Shoshana also talks about attending Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Message" book event at Harlem's Apollo Theater, as well as some beautiful lessons from our Yom Kippur traditions and... a Palestinian's helicopter on Mars.
