I only spoke on it for about a minute, but the show as a whole made for interesting listening. It lasts about 50 minutes, I think I came at about the 40 minute mark.

I had hoped to say more than I did, but a combination of not being asked the questions I hoped for and stage fright prevented me from doing so!!! When you get to the linked page, listen to the podcast dated 9th January 2009, titled ‘How is Gaza dividing world opinion?’

How can you justify in any way the killing of so many civilians? “We want to stop rocket attacks into Israel” they claim, I may be a non military type, but it strikes me that any country serious about that claim, and not just using it as an excuse, would do so in a way not as likely to draw more anger from their ‘target’ country (I hate that phrase). The one thing I’m not surprised by, is that the US alone abstained from a UN resolution calling for ‘ “immediate, durable and fully respected ceasefire” leading to the “full withdrawal” of Israeli forces from Gaza. ‘
I’m so saddened and angered by this attack on Gaza, as if they didn’t suffer enough there! I had an unexpected argument with one of my friends yesterday, they wholeheartedly support this attack and the ‘security wall’ being built aound the West Bank…..
We all know that theres not much we can actually do to change whats happening out there, what we can do is raise awareness and let our governments know our displeasure…so do it!
So anyway, I’ve signed this and I know many of you already have, but if you haven’t, please sign this petition calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, please!
