Angela Davis & Noura Erakat on Palestinian Solidarity, Gaza & Israel's Killing of Ahmad Erekat

On Sunday, many Arab, Muslim and Palestinian communities boycotted President Biden's virtual Eid celebration. We play a statement of solidarity from legendary activist and scholar Angela Davis on Sunday for Eid with Palestine: A Protest of the White House Eid Event." Davis also co-wrote piece for The Nation with our guest Noura Erakat about how Erakat's 26-year-old cousin Ahmad Erekat was shot by Israeli occupation forces after his car appeared to have accidentally crashed into a booth at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank while he was on the way to pick up his mother and sister on her wedding day. Erakat says Israel still refuses to release his body to his family. All Palestinians are deemed a threat for their mere existence," says Erakat. What we see happen to Ahmad has been a pattern."
