1.  Huwaida Arraf on the Voice of Palestine - Oct 23rd

Voice of Palestine www.voiceofpalestine.ca  will be interviewing Huwaida Arraf on Tue. evening Oct. 23, 2007 at 8:20pm (Wed. morning Oct. 24 5:20am Palestine time), about the failed "One Voice" Campaign and the current situation in the Palestinian occupied territories.

Huwaida is a cofounder of the International Solidarity Movement - Palestine and a spokesperson for ANOTHER VOICE http://www.anothervoice-palestine.org/ that was formed to challenge the so called "OneVoice's 'One Million Voices to End the Conflict' campaign".  Due to the vocal and organized opposition to this fraud the "One Voice" concerts in Jericho and Tel-Aviv were cancelled.
