Arab Voices

During this episode of Arab Voices, we will have 2 segments:
 
1) Electronic Intifada Newscast - A summary of the latest developments in occupied Palestine, including the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing Israeli atrocities in the West Bank, and the latest developments in Lebanon that is under constant bombardment by Apartheid Israel, presented by Nora Barrows-Friedman, associate editor at the Electronic Intifada.
 
2) In Memoriam: Arab Voices Interview with Sliman Mansour on Palestinian Art and Resistance - Renowned Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour, one of the most prominent and influential Palestinian artists of his time, passed away at the age of 79 in occupied Palestine on August 24, 2026. Sliman Mansour was one of the founding figures of contemporary Palestinian art, and most influential figures in modern Palestinian visual art. His paintings became some of the most recognizable images of Palestinian identity in the world. Through his work, he played an important role in preserving themes of land, Jerusalem, farmers and rural communities, Palestinian villages and landscapes, family life, displacement and memory, traditional Palestinian dress, olive trees, and cultural identity and heritage.

In 2021, Arab Voices guest host Hanan Awad interviewed Sliman Mansour on Palestinian Art & Resistance. In honor of his memory following his recent passing, we will re-air that interview. We will listen to part one during today's episode, with part two to follow during the next episode of Arab Voices.
 
We will end this episode with  a song by British singer and songwriter Garth Hewitt who was inspired in 2019 to create the song "My Name Is Palestine" after seeing a powerful painting by the renowned Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour.
