Nathan Thrall: Israel's system of ethnic domination over Palestinians | The InnerView

Nathan Thrall is an American author and journalist who has extensively covered the occupied West Bank, and the system of ethnic domination Israel imposes on Palestinians across the territory. Thrall's latest book “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama”, tells the true story of a 2012 bus crash in which six Palestinian children died - one is the five-year-old son of Abed Salama. The book follows Salama in the moments after he learns of the crash as he navigates a maze of separation barriers, military checkpoints and settler roads in order to find out if his son is dead or alive. Salama's journey exposes the humiliation Palestinians must endure to perform the most mundane daily tasks. On this episode of The InnerView, Imran Garda talks to Nathan Thrall about his Pulitzer Prize-winning book and the new insights he's gained about the Israeli occupation and the narrative that's used to justify it.
