An interview with Hamas Member of Parliament Huda Naim
By Meagan Perry Kim Elliott | March 13, 2009 PrintEmailDiscussWrite to editor Support rabble Show Notes:
International Women's Peace Organization Code Pink took action this International Women's Day. A delegation of 50 women including Alice Walker, and Code Pink Founder Medea Benjamin crossed the border from Egypt into Gaza to honor the women who live in the besieged area. While they are there, the women of the delegation are building links with the women of Gaza.

INTRO: It is rare that representatives of Hamas speak in the media. Huda Naim is a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza, and a representative of the Hamas Party. She was elected in 2006, after Hamas moved to form a parliamentary government. Since that election, 20 months ago Gaza has been under siege by Israel. She was interviewed through a translator on March 12, 2009 as part of International Peace Organization Codepink's delegation to Gaza. Here is Huda Naim, speaking about the election and what it has meant for Gaza.

Good to hear from the people themselves...and to hear about the real role of women within an Islamic Society...contrary to the propaganda that we hear about.

Thanks Cheryl
The world needs to understand that Hammas is a resistance group which is legal when a country is occupied. Look up UN charter.
It's the Zionist, that call them terrorists, in fact it's Israel that is a rogue terrorist state, dealing in apartied, racism, ethnic cleansing and now genocide is on the agenda. The US is too pressured by The Israeli lobby to even have open debate re Israeli atrocities in congress and the media is controlled by Zionist bosses so Americans do not even get unbiased news, so they believe the zionist controlled, repeated ad nauseum even the same words news broadcasts. The Zionist/Jewish Lobby are not patriotic Americans, they only care about Israel. They are the ones that beat war drums, and American soldiers continue to lose their lives fighting wars that Israel wants American's to fight. In the meantime America is getting a bad name internationally due to it's foreign policy. All because of the Jewish Lobby, who are in fact treasonous in their demands.
Israel is a foriegn country and Jewish Americans need to decide who they are, are they Americans of the Jewish faith or are they Jews who care only about Israel??

Lili, Israeli Arabs and Jews have the same rights, so your claims about apartheid are baseless.
