1st: Sherif Fam and Huwaida Arraf - 2008 Host Sherif Fam interviews Huwaida Arraf, one of 46 activists from 14 countries who recently sailed two small wooden boats (the SS Free Gaza and the SS Liberty) on an epic journey to Gaza without having to go through Israel or get its permission, albeit risking being shot. They took small quantities of food and medical supplies. Read more about this trip at freegaza.org and consider donating and getting involved.
