How should we react to Rafah, what can we do, and what is the value of the vote, considering there are two important elections coming up (in the US and the UK)? How should people who care about Palestine vote in those two countries? I explore these questions in this short and impromptu episode.

Teh Tarik With Walid - Episode 84: Oon Shu An

‘But you’re an actor, why are you commenting on Palestine?’ To which, she responded: ‘How ‘intelligent’ does someone need to be to know killing children is wrong?’ Join me as I host celebrity - an actual one!! - @oonshuan as we discuss her journey towards being a vocal advocate for the Palestinian cause. Shu An’s journey, I believe, will resonate with many Singaporeans, as prior to October, she would not have considered herself to be ‘political’. Shu An was a speaker at the Gaza Monologues, and she really impressed many in the audience, myself included, with her eloquence and conviction.
