When was the last time you heard a peace song on the radio? It is virtually impossible to get these types of songs on the air. People like Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs etc. would never be heard today. The vast majority of radio stations today are owned by corporate media giants like Clear Channel and these wonderful artist would never make it onto today’s play lists.

It ran over her as she was kneeling and waving her arms in an effort to prevent it from destroying the home of pharmacist Samir Nasrallah in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
