How did viewers like Thursday Jan 26 informal arguing about Palestine? I thought I broke new ground with the Thursday Jan 26 program, devoting about 45 minutes to what seemed like just a couple people arguing about the Palestinians' right of return to land seized by Israel. I was so impressed with the Palestinian student of International Affairs, Rhanda (spelling?), her committment to dialogue and reasoning that I felt it deserved an airing. With the 13 minutes remaining I was able to find in my archives a lovely song about Palestine needing our love in which the singer gets the church audience to sing along, and then a report from some Jewish people returning from a visit with Palestinians testifying to how well they were treated, even after their Jewishness was pointed up.

I am curious how the program went over with viewers, but the program the next day, with Belafonte, Ratner, and Ritter, was the major salvo against the Bush administration outrage in Iraq that I feel was really worth getting excited about.  ¶ 10:40 AM
