Palestinian journalist Amira Hanania was in Madison Monday night, fresh from spending four weeks reporting on the war in Gaza.
“I think I am the only Palestinian journalist who has ever been ice fishing,” she said to laughter after she was introduced to a crowd of about 500 for her Distinguished Lecture Series talk in the Wisconsin Union Theater.
Hanania, 27, was the lead journalist for the Ma’an News Agency, the only independent news network in the Palestinian territories.
