March for Gaza in Ottawa

The war in Gaza has entered its 3rd month and the toll of innocent civilian deaths rises by the hour. Approximately 16,000 civilians have been killed including close to 8000 children. On today's show, I speak to people who attended Saturday's March for Gaza from the Human Rights Monument, I speak to a number of people who attended the march including Yusif Behest who was born in Gaza. We look at the impact of the war on the Palestinian culture, many Palestinian leaders, artists, academics, doctors, teachers have been killed, universities have been bombed, ancient mosques, places of historical cultural significance, which in itself is a war crime. Last week poet Refaat Alareer was killed by an Israeli Air strike, we'll hear his poem "If I must Die".
