Gaza Freedom Flotilla II (2011)

1: PressTV release on the Greek blockade of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla per Israeli request 2: Democracy Now's Jihan Hafiz interviews participants of the Freedom Waves to Gaza that tried to reach Gaza from Turkey aboard the Tahrir.  3: Kathy Kelly Inteviewed by This Week in Palestine 07-17-2011. Today's show features a conversation with longtime peace activist Kathy Kelly of Voices for Creative Non-Violence on her participation in the recent Gaza Flotilla, and the Welcome to Palestine Campaign. VCNV seeks to end U.S. military and economic warfare. She and her companions at the Voices home office in Chicago believe that non-violence necessarily involves simplicity, service, sharing of resources and non-violent direct action in resistance to war and oppression. Kathy has brought this important message to war torn areas such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Palestine. For example, in 2003 Kathy and her companions lived in Baghdad throughout the "Shock and Awe" bombing. In 2009, she was part of a small delegation that reported from Gaza during Israel's brutal "Operation Cast Lead". 4: Ridgely Fuller interviewed about Gaza Flotilla II This Week in Palestine 7-10-2011 https://freedomflotillanews.wordpress.com/ As always, edited by Ian Anderson (@starsalwayslost), with special thanks / credit to Sina Rahmani + The East is a Podcast.
