Did You See The CNN Interview With A Gaza Policeman?

[eleny]

In the past 1/2 hour, a CNN reporter stationed in Gaza said there was intermittent electricity. Then he went into a cell phone store and interviewed a local policeman. The man said that Americans used to help the Palestinian people. But our current government doesn't. He said "Bill Clinton came here." And then he went on to say how Bush doesn't support the people of Gaza. And he asked Americans to ask our government to help the Palestinian people.

I'm surprised that CNN didn't "lose power" or have technical difficulties since it was a live interview.

That was soooo real I could have listened to that guy talk for an hour. Street level, quiet, genuine. That's the stuff that I want to hear, not the screaming fanatics.

I just hope the parents who remember Clinton and know the difference are teaching these things to the sons and daughters.

8. The reporter was back on CNN live in Gaza

He just talked to a shop owner. The shop owner said he wants to see the Israeli soldier freed. And also that they want to make peace.

Q: If you could speak to Bush, what would you like him to do? Answer: Try to give us some freedom and justice.

Q: What would you like Bush to do? Answer: Bush is a strong man and he can make peace between Palestinians and Israelis.

7. Why cut power. They know it doesn't mean a damn thing to American

powers who control everything. The average American is a mere pawn in the hands of the big pawns that are controlled by Israel.
