Movements against the occupation: the pink delegation in Gaza
[Episode 67]
Two different delegations of the US organization Codepink visited Gaza by entering through Egypt from May 28 to June 5. Codepink is an US women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars and reject foreign policies based on domination and aggression. We interviewed Stephanie Westbrook, Codepink’s member. “We was 66 people, mostly from United States, we realized our government rules in financing Israeli occupation. In Gaza we saw the incredible
distruction caused by the conflict but, at the other side, we saw the amazing work done by the civil society in Gaza, the wonderful determination of the Palestinian people to continue the resistance”.
During the trip the delegation also meet Richard Goldstone, leader of the United Nation council to investigate on human rights and law violations related to the 2008-2009 Israel-Gaza conflict.
