The revolution in Egypt ~ a genuine uprising on the part of oppressed people but will it be used to further Israel's interests? Internationally-esteemed journalist Dahr Jamail and co-host Mark Dankof join Mark Glenn on the program to explore this question.

I am 58 years old, and right now my eyes are brimmed with tears and I am sobbing.
ReplyDeleteMy tears are tears of happiness and my sobbing is sobbing of compassion.
I AM SO PROUD OF MY PEOPLE.
You have every reason to be proud of your countrymen and women. The ordinary people are showing the rest of the world how it should be done.... I just pray that they are not being manipulated... after all it is not as if Mubarak was of much value to the US or Israel...having one foot in the grave and all.... I keep hoping that this would work out well for the Palestinians also...
