GRITtv: Marching for Freedom for Gaza

GRITtv: Marching for Freedom for Gaza

On the anniversary of the "Operation Cast Lead" assault on Gaza, almost 1400 people from 43 countries converged in Egypt to march to Gaza, demanding an end to the siege there. Since the actual attacks ended, the people of Gaza have been cut off from the rest of the world, and this unprecedented action, as well as solidarity movements around the globe, was designed to raise international awareness of the plight of the Gazan people. Ali Abunimah, cofounder of Electronic Intifada, and Medea Benjamin, cofounder of Code Pink: Women for Peace, took part in the march in Egypt. They join us to discuss the march, and we also speak to Electronic Intifada contributor Rami Almeghari, who is living and working in the Gaza strip.
