Beyond the Pale will be pre-empted during the balance of October during WBAI's fall fund raising marathon.  But this Sunday we're on air with a two-hour fund raising marathon special featuring spokesmen for Breaking the Silence, the Israeli veterans who, since 2004, have gone on the record with their personal experiences to expose the truth of Israel's agenda in the West Bank and Gaza.

We've posted our interview (just click on details below) and stripped out the on-air fundraising.  If you haven't contributed to this fall's drive, you can still support WBAI and Beyond the Pale by clicking here.
