Today’s show is a special one. I had the pleasure of anchoring a livestream of a “Seder in the Streets to Stop Arming Israel” which was held on the second night of Passover on Tuesday night. The demonstration was held in Brooklyn one block away from the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hours before the Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid package that includes about $17 billion in arms and security funding to Israel. Hundreds of protesters were arrested. During the seder, I was in a studio on Manhattan’s Lower East Side providing commentary and interviewing special guests Rabbi Brant Rosen, filmmaker Michael Moore, journalist Abby Martin, Actor, playwright and essayist Wallace SHawn, Human Rights and environmental lawyer Steven Donziger and actor and activist Susan Sarandon. And I was joined in studio by Fouad Dakwar, a Palestinian-American musical theater writer and the creator of the great musical Fouad of Nazareth. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here!
