Religion, Racism, Corporatism and the Suffering of Gaza.,

1 14 min interview with Elizabeth Corriie, a peace activist from Georgia, USA.

In June 2004, peace activist Elizabeth Corrie from Georgia US, visited ireland to publicise the illegal suffering of Palestinians at the hads of the US and Israeli States. Her cousin Rachel has been killed in mysterious circumstances while trying to prevent the demolition of a civilian house in Rafah, Gaza Strip, in March 2003.

Elizabeth is determined that her cousin will not have died in vain.

In this interview, Elizabeth speaks about the immanent withdrawl of IDF from the Gaza Strip, the possibility of a united Israeli-Palestinian State, and most crucially, the money trail and racist ideologies behind US and Israeli policies and attitudes.

The interview was recorded on June 17th 2004, and first broadcast on Near FM (a community radio station in Dublin) on July 1st 2004 - a programme called Majority World which can be heard live-streaming at www.nearfm.ie on Thursdays 4:30-5:30 pm Irish Time, and repeated Friday morning 9-10 am Irish Time.

The bitrate is only 32kbps. here so i don't think FM rebroadcasts will work well - but I think 32 is more accessible to all, and much quicker for the slow uploading speed of my ISP.
