”We have the real story of Jerusalem” Grassroots Al-Quds

Grassroots Jerusalem or Grassroots Al-Quds educates people on the Palestinian perspective of this city of great historical, religious, and political importance. They run in person tours, virtual tours, sell a guidebook, and many other resources. Yazan Risheq is the executive director. Miko Peled speaks with Yazan about colonization happening in Silwan, Isawiya, and Sheikh Jarrah - all neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Miko and Yazan talk about Itamar Ben-Gvir and the attacks on Al-Aqsa. Yazan also talks about the UN and the role they do or do not play. And Yazan tells us what gives him hope: grassroots support from people around the world.
