Remember the Children of Palestine (Mary Rizzo talks about Hasbara)
By Mary Rizzo • Sep 2nd, 2009 at 16:44 • Category: Education, Interviews, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, VideoPress TV's weekly programme Remember the Children of Palestine allows one of those rare opportunities to see brief reports about the daily life of Palestinians from a human framework. Each week, it features films and guests who talk about issues such as education, health, the family and holidays, as well as featuring music videos and guest speakers who address issues such as activism and relief work.
This week I had the honour to be invited to add a contribution about the language that activists are dealing with when they are struggling to get the message through. It's a very complicated topic, and one that PTT dedicates a lot of energy to addressing (the intervention is at 26'00"). But enjoy the entire show, there is a lot of interesting material!
Thanks to Iqbal, Nada, Lauren and the other ladies and gentlemen who made it a positive experience.

NOT certain the embedding is quite right, you can see it also on Press TV's site (until I work out the technical problems!)
