Note: This has been updated with an additional few pieces of audio and the original audio has been corrected for mistakes. 1st: Sherif Fam speaks to Greta Berlin on launch day. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla consists of six ocean vessels bearing about 10,000 tons of vital building and living materials and 700 unarmed civilians, pledged to nonviolent defiance of the Israeli blockade of Gaza, the only land in the world being denied access to its own sea. The passenger list includes prominent activists, even celebrities and parliamentarians from the world over. One such is a member of the Israeli Knesset, clearly facing prison or worse upon arrival back home. This exclusive historic interview was conducted and aired live from Cyprus just hours before the Gaza Freedom Flotilla launched and was later brutally attacked by Israeli gunfire in international waters, in defiance of international law and common decency. From reactions around the world, there is new hope that Israel has finally lost its impunity. We have not yet learned the names of the dead or the imprisonment/torture situation of the survivors. Various (mostly foreign) websites are carrying update information, among them: gazafreedommarch.org. This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is a monumentally important program 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. "leaders" and 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.
