This Week on GR
by C. L. Cook
 This week: Dispossession, arbitrary detention, beatings, and death at the hands of
Israeli authorities, or Zionist mobs is an ever-present threat for
Palestinians living in the remnant West Bank. This past week, as every
week preceding it, has witnesses an array of all of these crimes
against the people of Palestine and more. Jon Elmer is a Canadian
freelance journalist who has frequently lived in and reported from
Palestine. He's also the single-most frequently appearing guest on this
show, and joins us again today; Jon Elmer, live from Occupied Palestine
in the first half.
Unlike last week's singularly destructive natural calamity, the cruelty
and injustice Haitians must endure is a daily reality, designed and
enforced by the same "international community" that now fashions itself
as Saviour to the afflicted. Kevin Pina is an independent journalist and
filmmaker who is no stranger to Haiti's suffering. His latest film, 'We
Must Kill the Bandits' chronicles the abuse of Haitian democracy at the
hands of the United Nations and its American, Canadian, and French
sponsors, the same powers behind the 2004 Coup D'Etat that sent
populist priest and president Aristide into exile. Kevin Pina and
Haiti's shaky foundations in the second half.
And; Victoria Street Newz publisher and CFUV broadcaster, Janine
Bandcroft will be here at the bottom of the hour to keep us current
with the dire need existing still on Victoria's streets. But first, Jon
Elmer and keeping an eye on Palestine while the world looks away.

Though rarely featured prominently in the corporate and state medias of the west, recent events in Haiti further obscures from the world's attention the dire plight of Palestinians living under the heel of Israel in the West Bank. As in Haiti, Palestinians exist in a near perpetual state of emergency, never certain their homes and businesses won't be tomorrow stolen from them and their future wrecked. Dispossession, arbitrary detention, beatings, and death at the hands of Israeli authorities, or Zionist mobs is an ever-present threat for Palestinians living in the remnant West Bank. This past week, as every week preceeding it, has witnesses an array of all of these crimes against the people of Palestine and more. Jon Elmer is a Canadian freelance journalist who has frequently lived in and reported from Palestine. He's also the single-most frequently appearing guest on this show, and joins us again today; Jon Elmer, live from Occupied Palestine in the first half.
And; contrary to those who believe it not the time to look into what lay behind the Haitian catastrophe, here we believe it's never too soon to look at history. Years, decades, and centuries of crimes most heinous perpetrated against an entire people underpin the devastation witnessed last week across the world, and continues to see today in Haiti. Unlike last week's singularly destructive natural calamity, the cruelty and injustice Haitians must endure is a daily reality, designed and enforced by the same "international community" that now fashions itself as Saviour to the afflicted.
