Our feature presentation this morning is a speech given by Palestinian journalist, author and professor, Rami Khouri given at the Peace Action Conference held at Harvard University this past November. It begins with his introduction.
And we close with an interesting confrontation between Irish Politician Richard Boyd Barret and the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland. Contrast Barret's forthrightness with the way our politicians kowtow to Israeli state representatives in this country. We also present the Ambassador's comeback, not for fairness, but to enable our listeners to capture the full flavor of its outrageous nature.
