Omar Barghouti, co-founder and leading voice of the Palestinian BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement, spoke to a full house at Harvard following his long period of detention by the Israeli military. He was finally able to do his United states speaking tour which had been postponed due to his arrest.
We feature his main address and as much of the question and answer period as time will allow. The Q&A may be a bit difficult to follow because the moderator took 3 questions at a time, and then let Barghouti answer them. We hope you will be able to follow the flow, especially as he responds to some challenging questions from Zionist students.
The best explanation of why Barghouti was imprisoned and and stuck with travel restrictions: Israeli government leaders are concerned that BDS is working. They would prefer to continue abusing Palestinians with long-accustomed impunity.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming live and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; editions are also accessible at radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists. (At this important time, TJR has been airing Palestine coverage IN ADDITION to that provided by This Week In Palestine.)
