Summary

Katie catches up with Palestinian-American physician Dr. Dhiaa Daoud, who joined the show last week from the freedom flotilla, to talk about being kidnapped and tortured by the IDF. They're also joined by Tommy Marcus, a Jewish-American activist and the creator of the viral Instagram account Quentin Quarantino who was also kidnapped and tortured from another flotilla. But first Katie talks to 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. For the full discussion, please join us on Patreon at - https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-full-dr-141249387 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. Tommy Marcus is the creator of the viral Instagram account Quentin Quarantino. He set out to create a meme page during the pandemic, but has since used his Instagram fame to raise more than $30 million for humanitarian causes. He was aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying aid to Palestinians when they were arrested by Israeli naval forces. Tommy and his fellow Jewish-American friend David Adler were singled out and forced to be filmed with Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir when the convoy was intercepted. Tommy spent 5 days in an Israeli prison and returned home to Los Angeles on Friday. Dr. Dhiaa Daoud is a Palestinian-American emergency physician and humanitarian. His work in Gaza during the 2024 war inspired him to found the Doctors for Hope Foundation, which provides medical care and rebuilds essential infrastructure. He recently returned from a humanitarian flotilla to Gaza. **Please support The Katie Halper Show ** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - / thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram: / kthalps Follow Katie on TikTok: / kthalps
