A community leader from the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, Israel has been visiting Vermont this week and brings a message of non-violent resistance against the Israeli occupation. Dr. Abdel Fattah Abu-Srour is especially concerned about the lives of Palestinian children in the camp, and hopes immersion in the arts can help communicate their troubles to the outside world.
Mitch Wertlieb talks with Dr. Abu-Srour about a fundraiser for the Palestinian Children’s Theater in Bethlehem, sponsored by the Burlington Peace and Justice Center.
