On this edition of Your Call, Nathan Thrall discusses his Pulitzer Prize winning book, "A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy."
Thrall explores what he calls a bureaucracy of oppression through the story of a bus accident on the outskirts of East Jerusalem in which six Palestinian kindergarteners and a teacher burned to death. The book details how Israel’s occupation has shaped every aspect of the tragedy.
