We speak to Abed, a Palestinian English teacher living in the Tulkarm refugee camp in the West Bank. This camp was established by Palestinians who were made refugees in their own land after the 1948 Nakba, which means 'catastrophe' in Arabic. On that year, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced from their homes and ethnically cleansed by Zionist militias to create the settler colonial state of Israel. Since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, the Israeli army has intensified its raids on the West Bank, and the camp's residents, such as Abed, have stories to tell of mass arrests, resistance and the memory of displacement and loss. For Abed, the Nakba never ended.

A massive scandal has rocked Greece involving the disturbing pimping, sexual assault and trafficking of a 12-year-old Athenian girl from a working-class neighbourhood called Kolonos. It is even alleged that members of the political high class, as well as cops, were involved in the injustices inflicted on this girl. In a cruel twist, the girl's mother was even sent to prison. We were on the ground outside the court, as it ruled the mother could walk free, in a rare moment of hope for the feminist movement in Greece.
You can support the family involved in the Kolonos case via this crowdfund:
