This Week on GRadio
by C.L.Cook - GRadio.Substack.com
Palestinians, both in Palestine and those among the diaspora, and their allies observed Palestine Land Day March 30th. It was the 50th commemoration of the 1976 murder of six people protesting the State theft of land in Galilee. Israel chose the same date to pass in its Knesset the ‘Death Penalty for Terrorists Law’, an infamous, one-sided statute codifying capital punishment (for some) while providing only limited recourse to appeal, or commutation. Worse, the “Gallows Law” is expected to apply equally to Palestinian children.
Hanna Kawas is chairperson of Vancouver’s Canada-Palestine Association. He’s too a long-time radio journalist whose program, Voice of Palestine had been a beacon for the city’s diaspora community, and others facing both Canadian state repression, and media marginalization.
Hanna and the CPA will be front and centre this Friday, April 17th in Vancouver, at Creekside Park for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day.
Hanna Kawas in the first half.
And; last week I sat down for an extended interview with John Helmer. We covered the Iranian resistance to American and Western belligerence, Russia’s role and reaction to that, and the release of John’s new book, ‘The Coroner is Guilty’.
John’s a journalist and author who’s spent decades living in and reporting from Russia. He’s the principle behind the web news site, Dances with Bears and has - as well as serving as advisor to governments at the highest level - too been a professor of political science, sociology, and journalism.
Among his many book titles are: ‘The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,’ ‘Sovcomplot: How pirates tried to capture the treasure of the Russian seas, and were caught out’, and ‘Long Live Novichok: The British Poison Which Fooled the World’.

But first, Hanna Kawas and remembering the hostages held by Israel on Palestinian Prisoners’ Day.
