A couple of friends host a local indymedia radio show every week and had a focus on Palestine tonight. I was interviewed, but more interesting was their first guest, Miko Peled. He is an Israeli peace activist but one with a special story; the son of a General in the Israeli army during the '67 war, and the grandson of one of the signatories to Israel's declaration of independence.
Check out his own blog in the link above or google or youtube him to get an idea of what a powerful and significant perspective he has.He is currently in Australia so for any of you in Perth he's speaking on the 29th of September - check out the details here, or here for other places in Australia.
And to hear his interview (or mine) on Perth's indymedia show (on RTR FM) here's that link. Just click on the 19th September show; Miko's interview starts about 10 or 11 minutes in and goes for about 20 minutes. Mine starts close to the 40 minute mark and goes for about 15. Too many umm's, and a few things I could have explained better, but another good chance to raise some awareness after last week's talk. Feel free to leave me a comment if you have a listen...
And just one more reminder about the petition I mentioned last week; do check it out - this is a crucial time as the bid for Palestinian statehood goes to the United Nations. And for a surprisingly un-baised overview of the statehood bid, (and a number of fascinating comments from various significant individuals in Israel), check out this article from the Weekend Australian (17/18 Sept).
