Friends of Palestine Presents Dr. El Farra from Gaza

Syndicated from Green Left Weekly on Fri, 2013-05-24

<p>Israel's Operation Cast Lead was described by a UN fact finding mission as “a deliberately disproportionate attack designed to punish, humiliate and terrorise a civilian population.” The 2008–09 assault claimed the lives of 1400 Palestinians and thrust the crisis in Gaza into the centre of the debate about the Israel/Palestine conflict.</p>
