"The Gaza Freedom March is not over, it's only begun." So says Professor Sarah Roche-Mahdi, Boston CodePink organizer, just back from the event in which most of the 1300+ marchers from numerous countries were harassed by Egyptian authorities and blocked from entry to Gaza. Salma Abu Ayyash interviews Roche-Mahdi and two other marchers, live in our studio, on their feelings and experiences in Egypt. The other two marchers are Stephanie Andrews (a local organic farmer), and Emily King (a PhD student at Tufts University).
Also provided: Al-Jazeera coverage of the Viva Palestina convoy led by British MP George Galloway, which was somewhat more successful in getting in. And news of yet more continued bombings of Gaza by Israeli forces, approved and financed by U.S. "leaders" at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.

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!
