First, a phone interview with Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh, in Palestine, about the difficulties of feeling celebratory at Christmas time in the very spot where Christ was born. Second, an urgent reminder to get involved in various aspects of the Gaza Freedom March. Third, a review of pertinent news, especially including the recent issuance by a British court of an arrest warrant for former Israeli minister Tzipi Livni for war crimes. As usual, this news was missing from U.S. mainstream media.

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; even more editions are obtainable at the URL "tinyurl.com/twiplist2" which links to our postings on radio4all.net.
The most important message we repeat is that all caring humans must GET INVOLVED!
