UK MP George Galloway concludes his barn-burner of a speech on unjustifiable wars & occupations; "absurd" foreign policies; Palestine; Lebanon; the war crimes of Israel; connivance in same by the US, UK, & Canada; political parties that are but "two cheeks of the same arse"; and "the Butcher of Beirut," Ariel Sharon. Galloway boldly speaks truths that US politicians won't even whisper and the mainstream media won't report. He's funny, too.
Galloways rousing speech was delivered and recorded in Toronto on November 30, 2006. For the complete recording, thanks to Alex Smith, "The Brown Bagger" radio program, and radio station CFRO in Vancouver. "New World Notes" is produced for WWUH-FM, "Public Alternative Radio," at the University of Hartford. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail dot com.
This program--the second half of Galloway's speech--also has two modest contributions by me. These are (1) a short introduction and (2) a David Rovics song ("Jenin") in the middle.
The first half of the speech, NWN #68, is A-Infos/Radio4All program #33924. (Just change the # in the URL box at the top of your browser screen.)
Photographs, graphics, and commentary complement the story. This fortnight's commentary includes some interesting brooding on Galloway being denied entry into Gaza (with 100 trucks of relief supplies) and into CANADA (to speak at a peace conference) in Q1-2009. On Philip Habib (Warren Zevon's model for the song, "The Envoy"). And on Ariel Sharon. Plus many illustrations. See all in the newsletter or on the blog--http://newworldnotes.blogspot.com .
