http://www.radio4all.net/program/38432Podcast for Program: The Gaza Freedom MarchMon, 28 Dec 2009 12:27:37 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/38432The Gaza Freedom March comes to fruition during this coming week. Huge numbers of committed activists are on their way to Egypt, intending to cross into Gaza with humble offerings of relief. Meanwhile, Egyptian officials (with U.S. government connivance) claim that no one will be allowed to cross, and plan to immiserate and starve Gazans even more by constructing a steel underground wall. All this will soon come to a head, and it's clear that our marchers need support of many kinds. Beyond resisting, replacing, and imprisoning our own criminally corrupt politicians, perhaps the most urgent need today for those of us who care is to pressure Egyptian embassies and consulates around the world to OPEN THAT CROSSING. In the U.S., contact the Egyptian Embassy, Tel. 202-895-5400 and ask for Omar Youssef Email: omaryoussef@hotmail.com Also contact Ahmed Azzam at the Palestine Division in Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo, Tel +202-25749682 Email: ahmed.azzam@mfa.gov.eg A list of Egyptian missions around the world may be found at www.mfa.gov.eg/MFA_Portal/en-GB/mfa_websits/ Our program today is partly borrowed from our friend Dori Smith of Talk Nation Radio. We air her most recent episode of TNR, devoted to precisely this issue. Following that, Truth and Justice Radio co-producer Stan Robinson offers selected announcements of suggested support activities and events, including a full afternoon in Boston on New Year's Eve, interleaving with Boston's First Night festivities. Suggested websites: iacboston.net and gazafreedommarch.org. For more detail on local activities, view this week's event announcements posted at truthandjusticeradio.org. As our treasured associate Salma Abu Ayyash has been urging on this program... WHISPER, TALK OR SCREAM, but DO NOT remain silent! Truth & Justice Radio (WZBC)Mon, 28 Dec 2009 12:27:37 +0000
