Episode 112 of Kamloops Last Week focuses on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

TRU assistant professor of politics Saira Bano [at the 28:30 mark] offers background on the war and terror taking place in Gaza and Israel.

She answers questions on the potential escalation of the conflict, how the rest of the world is reacting to Hamas’ terror attacks and how the conflict can be contained.

Bano notes that Russia is benefitting from unrest in the Middle East.

Heidi Coleman, president of the Jewish Community Centre of Kamloops, talks [14:28] of the impact of the war on her family in Israel and how folks in the Tournament Capital can help with healing.

The #LastWeekClique goes cranberry hunting [9:54] in its weekly sponsorship improv segment, with help from Gord’s Appliance and Mattress Centre, McDonald’s and Volkswagen of Kamloops.
