Great tune, great refrain – free, free Palestine. Thanks to Pulse.
Excellent short animation announcing Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW). From the website PULSE. Watch the 2008 trailer here.
The human toll on just one Palestinian family in the OPT, an Israeli soldier says he doesn’t know what they are doing there, “purification, maybe”. This CBC report would not have made it under Israel censorship. Condolences to the Hunwajas who can never get their mother back (3 minutes). H/T Juan Cole

The following from Juan Cole:
CBS News broadcasts an interview with a Norwegian physician on the scene in Gaza.
He says he has seen one military casualty come into the hospital. Of 2500 wounded, 50% are women and children. Doing surgery around the clock. There are injuries you do not want to see– children coming in with open abdomens, with injured legs, we had to amputate both of them. This is a war on the civilian population of Gaza. It is a very young population. They cannot flee. They are fenced in. They are bombing one and a half million people in a cage.

Watch Huwaida Arraf’s excellent advocacy (ISM activist and co-founder, Free Gaza participant) and Ranaan Arraf (former Israeli advisor to Ariel Sharon) tell blatant lies and go apoplectic. European Union rep. Kyriacos Triantathyllides is also excellent.
