Description

We bring you an urgent reported episode of Whetstone Audio about the unfathomable and unrelenting war in Palestine and Gaza. The livelihoods of as many as 100,000 Palestinian families depend on native and centuries-old olive and grape crops. We spoke with two Palestinian farmers living in the West Bank, Nader Muaddi, owner of Muaddi distillery producing grape-based Arak, and olive farmer Nasser Abufarha, owner of Canaan Palestine, on how they have been devastatingly impacted. The Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank have not only banned Palestinian families and farmers from accessing their land but have systematically burned farmers’ crops and harvests to the ground.To support these businesses, you can follow Muaddi Distillery @muaddi_craft_distillery to learn how Nader works to preserve arak. You can purchase Canaan olive oil @canaan.palestine. You can learn more about hospitality workers taking action for Gaza at @hospitalityforhumanity.Hosted by Stephen SatterfieldProduced and edited by Celine GlasierWhetstone Audio Dispatch is part of Whetstone Radio Collective
