Alice Walker in Gaza - 3 Parts - Recommended

Alice Walker in Gaza - Part 1 of 3:

The first two videos were filmed in Al Arish, Egypt, the third was filmed in Gaza after Alice Walker experienced the destruction and met the people.

"Alice Walker being interviewed by Anjali Kamat of Democracy Now in Al Arish, Egypt and Gaza, Palestine. After the 22 day Israeli assault on the people of Gaza, in which hundreds were killed and maimed and thousands of homes, buildings, schools, factories, libraries and hospitals were destroyed, and white phosphorous bombs were dropped on an imprisoned population, Walker joined a delegation organized by CODEPINK which took gifts and humanitarian support to the women of Gaza on International Womens Day, March 8, 2009. The Siege of Gaza, imposed and enforced by the Israeli government, with the tax dollars of average hardworking and peaceful Americans, is one of the most atrocious of the crimes against humanity now on-going in the world.
Alice asks that you not take her word for this, or for anything, but to study the situation and, if possible, go see for yourself. CODEPINK is staying with our sisters and their families in Palestine and will be taking many delegations in the next few months. It is an experience, of seeing what our money actually buys in the world, that one is not likely ever to forget."

"Alice Walker is an American novelist, short-story writer, poet, essayist, and activist. Her most famous novel, The Color Purple, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1983. Alice Walker's creative vision is rooted in the economic hardship, racial, terrorism, and folk wisdom of African American life and culture, particularly in the rural South. Her writing explores multidimensional kinships among women, among men and women, among humans and animals, and embraces the redemptive power of social, spiritual and political revolution."
