Interview with Fathy Khdirat,  organizer for Jordan Valley Solidarity. I have just finished reading Grapes of Wrath, this group definitely reminded me of the spirit of Tom Joad.


Part I: All his life under occupation, personal and family stories.


Part II: A government-made water shortage


Part III: What’s so important about the Jordan Valley.


Part IV: The destruction of two whole villages.


Conclusion: What we can do.
