In the first segment of the show, I talk with Gershon Baskin, founder of the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI). Baskin spoke recently at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas on the topic “Is Peace in the Middle East Possible?” Founded in Jerusalem in 1988, IPCRI is the only joint Israeli-Palestinian public policy think-tank in the world, and is devoted to developing practical solutions for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The show was broadcast on Tom Klammer’s Tell Somebody

“Tell Somebody” is a locally-produced weekly public affairs program on the air on KKFI since September 2005. Tell Somebody strives to provide in-depth coverage of international, national and local issues on important issues and viewpoints often ignored or distorted in the corporate media.

Tom Klammer is the host and producer of Tell Somebody. He first got involved with KKFI 90.1 FM in 2002, volunteering on The Heartland Labor Forum, and soon developed a great appreciation of the important information that was being broadcast on local and nationally syndicated public affairs programming on KKFI that was not being heard on other broadcast outlets. Klammer holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from UMKC. In 2006 he shared in an International Labor Communications Association award to the Heartland Labor Forum for Learning About Labor: Union Summer & Class at Avila University, and in 2010 was recognized by PeaceWorks–Kansas City for efforts to educate the public about the role of the Kansas City Plant in nuclear weapons production for the National Nuclear Security Administration.
