JANINE ALI & JENIN YOUNES
On today’s program Katie speaks with Palestinian-American Grandmother and activist Janine Ali and her lawyer, Palestinian-American free speech attorney Jenin Younes. Janine is being falsely accused of choking a member of the zionist extremist organization Betar, which is famous for harassing, doxxing and presenting people with pagers, in a reference to Israel's terrorist pager attack in Lebanon.
At 73, Janine Ali is a dedicated activist and proud Palestinian American. A retired professional, she is the mother of four and the grandmother of eleven, cherishing her family while passionately advocating for peace. Since the 1980s, Janine has been a vocal advocate for peace, speaking out against the bombings in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the war in Iraq and Bosnia. She has volunteered in many Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and Lebanon, providing support and compassion to those in need. Janine was also part of the 24/7 peace vigil in front of the home of then Secretary of State Antony Blinken from January 26- July 26 2024. Since October 7, she has spent her time demonstrating against the genocide in Gaza, working tirelessly to bring awareness to the American public about the atrocities being committed by Israel and striving to educate others and foster understanding. Janine channels her energy and experience into making a positive impact in her community through peaceful means.
Jenin Younes is a civil liberties and free speech attorney and is National Legal Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. She is on the defense team representing Janine Ali.
