This is the main body of Omer's talk at Harvard. Omer's family's home was bulldozed to the ground without warning. His mother is in the hospital recovering from injury sustained jumping out the kitchen window to save her life. His sister was killed.
The shocking photos he shows are posted on Omer's website (RafahToday.org). Among them, UN ambulances shot up by Israeli soldiers.

This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is (normally) a three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization, and now bombing, devastation, imprisonment, and murder, of their homeland, thanks in part to U.S. taxpayer funding.
It's part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-9:30am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming (and also archived for two weeks) at wzbc.org. Our website, truthandjusticeradio.org, links to audio archives of 2008/2009 editions of This Week In Palestine; most editions are also obtainable from radio4all.net by typing "This Week In Palestine" into the search box.
The most important message we repeat is that all caring humans must GET INVOLVED!
