Nasser provides updates on the continued massacre and diplacement of Palestinians in Gaza, and the destruction of culture and of connection to land. We then share a speech that Nasser delivered at a Melbourne University NTEU forum to recognise the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Wed 29 Nov.
The banks of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River are Palestine’s natural borders, and it’s from this fact that From the River to the Sea takes its name. Presented by Yousef Al Reemawi, the show is a mix of current affairs and cultural updates from Palestine.
3CR first broadcast a show presenting the plight of Palestinian people back in the late 1970s (and nearly lost its licence!). Has much changed since? “We could have filled a library with new books on the subject since then. I try to combine brief historical contexts with news updates on my program. But it’s a big job!” says Yousef.
And what brought you to Melbourne? “I came here to do a Masters of Business Administration at Deakin University. Before that I was working as a water treatment engineer in Saudi Arabia. About a month after I arrived, a friend told me about a station that gives airtime to different communities in Melbourne and gave me the frequency of 3CR. It is quite obvious that 3CR is the voice for marginalised and misrepresented people”.
Although the issues you discuss on your show are of interest to many people, do you have any idea how large the Palestinian community is in Melbourne?
“According to the Australian Palestinian Youth Association, of which I’m a member, there are at least 5000-6000 Palestinians in Melbourne but, as indicated in your question, the Palestinian issue isn’t and never has been a domestic one”.

This year’s artwork is once again by First Nations artist, Renay Barker-Mulholland.
ID: A digital collage, with Renay, a First Nations woman, laying back on her power wheelchair as the central figure inside a bottle, inside a monolithic rock. On top there is an old, yellowed lightbulb and eyes dotted around the figure. There is a hand on each side of the image, and going vertically down, in black text on tiles the word, Sick and above it a black graphic crown. On the right hand side the same style and the word sovereign, with a black snake above the hand. A bright yellow light hovers just above Renay's solar plexus.
