Bill Fletcher, Jr. Addresses UN General Assembly on Israeli Apartheid

Bill Fletcher, Jr. Addresses UN General Assembly on Israeli Apartheid Pt. 1:

This is a must watch video of the intervention of Bill Fletcher at the UN.
Many Thanks to the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation blog for posting the video on YouTube and providing me with a link to it.

"On November 30, 2009, in commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People addressed the UN General Assembly. Among the speakers who were invited to present was US Campaign Steering Committee member, trade union activist and anti-apartheid activist, and senior editor of BlackCommentator.com Bill Fletcher, Jr.

Fletcher's speech to the General Assembly, which represented the voice of civil society in working for a just peace in Israel/Palestine, addressed the connections between racism and apartheid in the United States, South Africa, and Israel/Palestine, noting that the UN has been slow to oppose apartheid in the past.
