דמוקרסי נאו, קול אמריקני חשוב שמקדם את חשיפת פרצופה האמיתי של מדינת ישראל כמדינת אפרטהייד רצחנית, ומקדם פתרון שוויוני ודמוקרטי כחלופה Democracy Now!: Live Report from Gaza City; Israeli Historian Ilan Pappé; Grieving Palestinian Student Speaks Out Hello, On Democracy Now! today, we speak with three guests as we continue our coverage of the conflict in Gaza. Reporting live from Gaza City, Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous describes the grave conditions as Gaza citizens return to their neighborhoods during the humanitarian ceasefire. Joining us in studio, we speak with Amer Shurrab, a Palestinian graduate student who has lost six family members due to the violence in Gaza. From a firsthand perspective, Shurrab comments on how the Israel/Palestine conflict has devastated his community. From Haifa, we speak to the Director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies and Professor of History Ilan Pappé. These interviews are posted in three parts on our website.

A Palestinian Student Who Lost 2 Brothers, 4 Cousins Tells His Story democracynow.org/2014/7/28/what_do_gazans_endure_a_palestinian Professor Ilan Pappé: Israel Has Chosen To Be A Racist Apartheid State With U.S. Support democracynow.org/2014/7/28/professor_ilan_pappe_israel_has_chosen Here are a selection of quotes from today’s show: Sharif Abdel Kouddous “It’s just mounds of rubble, twisted rebar and concrete where there was a five story building. People are trying to salvage anything they could from their homes. Many couldn’t even get anything out. They had fled under bombardment with only the clothes on their backs.” “It’s a very uneasy truce, an uneasy ceasefire, and people are waiting to see if the bombs will start falling again.” Amer Shurrab “Israel is deliberately targeting civilians. It’s from the day one of this attack. They have been bombing houses, wiping entire families to try to scare people into submission.” Ilan Pappé “I think Israel in 2014 made a decision that it prefers to be a racist apartheid state and not a democracy…It still hopes that the United States will license this decision and provide it with the immunity to continue, with the necessary implication of such a policy vis a vis the Palestinians wherever they are. “One can solve this situation by lifting the siege, by allowing the people of Gaza to be connected with their brothers and sisters in the West Bank, and by allowing them to be connected to the world and not to live under circumstances that no one else in the world seems to have to experience in this moment in time.” If you have been watching our daily reports on the Gaza crisis, we thank you so much for tuning in!
