Roger Fowler: Inspiring us to Dream the Impossible Dream for Palestine / Gaza

55 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,000 injured by Israeli forces since the 'Great March of Return' protests began on March 30 2018. The rallies are part of a six-week protest to mark what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba" or "catastrophe" - a reference to Israel's establishment in 1948 and when 750,000 Arabs were forcibly removed from Palestine. Roger will be covering a number of topics that include *Israel's continuing lethal attacks of unarmed citizens gathering in Gaza, *Political prisoners, detention of children, *House demolitions on the West Bank, *Author Dr Ramzy Baroud's speaking tour of NZ talking about his new book "The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story". * The upcoming 2018 international Freedom Flotilla to Gaza which will again include a prominent human rights advocate from NZ.
