Hi All,
See below links to videos we took at IAW in March 2009. (We have a great one of Norman Finkelstein from January too, just haven't processed the video yet! Though I think Paula has another one [from the same event] posted on her channel that can be accessed through the links below.)
A Mother From Gaza: Surviving Under the Siege (Part One)
Laila El-Haddad is a freelance Palestinian journalist, media activist, and mother from Gaza who writes mainly for the Guardian Unlimited and Aljazeera English. She maintains the award-winning blog "Raising Yousuf and Noor: diary of a Palestinian mother" (http://www.a-mother-from-gaza.blogspot. com/), which explores the complex relationships between the personal and political as she raises her children and negotiates displacement and occupation. She is currently based in the United States with her husband, a Palestinian refugee from the ethnically cleansed village of Waarit al-Siris. Laila has also been published in Le Monde Diplmatique, the New Statesmen, the International Herald Tribune and the Washington Post among others. She has made appearances on CNN, NPR, CBC, Democracy Now, Aljazeera International and the BBC. This was the keynote speech of Israeli Apartheid Week at the University of Alberta on March 2, 2009.
