Echoes of Dissent - We Remember the Silence When Macklemore said "Free Palestine" from a stadium stage, he lost eight shows on Ed Sheeran's tour. We trace why and see the backlash that amplified Macklemore’s message. We play ‘Hind's Hall 2’ and remember Hind Rajab, the six-year-old it's named for. Then we turn away from the shouting: we see Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian organisations working together, right now, working for a negotiated two-state peace. And, with Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence, a line from Martin Luther King Jr, Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up, we take a look at where NZ's political parties stand six weeks from the election.
