Today's show features an important interview with a young Palestinian blogger, Rana Baker. Rana is a 20 year old student from the Gaza strip who is currently studying business administration, and works as a freelance writer. She has lived all her life in Gaza, but has managed to travel for a few weeks to other parts of the Arab world and Europe. Our interview is followed with a few excerpts from Rana's blog at http://ranabaker.wordpress.com., and a reading of Jonathan Cook's recent article on the aftermath of the PA's UN bid for statehood.
