Two of the seven Minnesotans travelling to Egypt and Palestine for the Gaza Freedom March are appearing tonight on BelAhdan with Ahmed Tharwat one of the most-watched Arab American television programs in the US.
Their appearance tonight comes one day in advance of an event in Minneapolis to raise awareness of the crisis in Gaza and both political and financial support towards the goal of the march - lifting the illegal siege of Gaza that prevents humanitarian aid from reaching the 1.5 million Palestinians trapped there. Here are YouTube clips from the show:
Tomorrow's event in Minneapolis will be at the Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, 511 Groveland Ave, from 4 to 7 PM. The film "Occupation 101" will be shown and a panel will discuss the crisis, the march, and what else can be done. A suggested donation of $5-10 would be greatly appreciated, but no one will be turned away.
