Feature:

We presented the second in a series of highlights from the third annual Palestine Lives Conference, held March 31, 2007 at McMaster University in Hamilton. The conference was organized by SPHR Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights, a student group on campus, and brought together activists and academics from across Canada. Excerpts of the presentation on Canadian foreign policy and Palestine by Hanna Kawas were played.

Focus on Zionism:

Highlights of an article by Sonja Karkar, from Women for Palestine, entitled The Ghosts of Deir Yassin. The article was carried on Znet and marked the anniversary of the April 9/48 massacre of Palestinian villagers in Deir Yassin by Zionist terror gangs.
