Crimes of Israel against Gaza in UN Report

72.  The Mission acknowledges that the supply of humanitarian goods, particularly foodstuffs, allowed into Gaza by Israel temporarily increased during the military operations.  The level of goods allowed into Gaza before the military operations, however, was insufficient to meet the needs of the population even before hostilities started, and has again decreased after the end [...]

Thank You Jon Stewart for Hosting a Balanced Discussion on Israel & Palestine

jon-stewart-baltzer-barghoutiOn Thursday, October 29, Jon Stewart hosted two leading peace activists, Jewish American author Anna Baltzer, and Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, former Information Minister of Palestinian Unity Government and candidate for Presidency of the Palestine National Authority who finished second to Mahmoud Abbas in the 2005 election. A heckler in the audience tried to derail the discussion but both guests and host showed strength and dignity in bringing their message to light.

Below is a letter written by Anna Baltzer who enlists our help to defy those who want to silence the discussion.  Also see complete extended interview.

Last night Dr. Barghouti and I were on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart talking about Palestine.

The show was overwhelmed with angry emails and phone calls prior to the appearance, and up until the last minute it seemed like they might cancel. During the taping the show had its only heckler in 11 years. The entire staff were very nervous and may come to regret the monumental decision (and not make it again) as they will surely be inundated now that the show has aired.

That is why it is CRUCIAL that the show receive letters of support from anyone who appreciated the interview.

PLEASE take a moment to give a quick thank you to the Daily Show. I’m sure they will likely be affected by numbers rather than length, so it’s OK to make it short, but spread the word to others! Be sure to put “Thank you” in the subject, and maybe Dr. Barghouti & my names. Fill out the form here:  http://www.comedycentral.com/help/questionsCC.jhtml (make sure to choose The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as your topic).

I believe the interview wouldn’t have happened 3 years ago. Times are changing. Keep on keepin’ on…
