Our featured guest, Jennifer Loewenstein will discuss the current situation in East Jerusalem, the Middle East crisis from Iraq to Syria and failed U.S. imperial foreign policies.

From her Wikipedia page: "Loewenstein lived in Israel in 1963 as a child when her father played first trumpet in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. She returned in 1981 as a junior in college, and later as an adult. Loewenstein has lived in Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut and traveled in the Palestinian Territories, where she worked for five months in 2002 at the Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza City. She has returned to Gaza several times since then."  (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Loewenstein)
