Tidings from Hazel Kahan
This month’s Tidings is a repeat of the September episode, recorded a month before the Israel-Hamas war began. Robert Massoud, Palestinian founder of the Zatoun organization, spoke to us from Toronto about the twenty years he has spent telling the story of Palestine through its olive oil, without being silenced by politicians and media. “Two months later,” says producer Hazel Kahan, “there are multiple lenses through which listeners might experience this interview.”
