Episode 057 - Karenizers Gone Wild with Adnan Barq

Adnan Barq is talented Palestinian journalist and documentary filmmaker residing in occupied east Jerusalem. Lara and Michael have the pleasure of speaking with Adnan for a second time (check out episode 11 for our first sit down with Adnan) this week. The pod gets an exclusive first-hand account of Walid al-Sharif’s funeral and the violence that ensued as a result. We also circle back to talk about the beloved journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and we get Adnan’s take on how her senseless murder has furthered the resistance movement. Adnan gives insight on the ‘cemetery of numbers’, or the occupation’s practice of withholding slain Palestinian bodies. You’ll also hear about how higher education institutions within occupied Palestine are reacting to actions for justice, and how individual students are affected. Learn what a ‘Karenizer’ is and be part of the discussion.
