Phil Monsour has been writing and performing songs with a political bent for more than two decades. In this interview with Andrew Bartlett, he talks of the experiences that provided the foundation of his most recent album,
Ghosts of Deir Yassin - including his own visits to the checkpoints, walls and refugee camps that are the daily reality for millions of Palestinian people.
He also speaks of the gigs he's been playing around Australia, Ireland and the UK in support of the album and the issues it raises and outlines the rationale of the
BDS campaign - Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions on the state of Israel.
