Freedom Flotilla to Gaza, Israel's 'Blood Diamonds, a history of Zionism and who supports it

Program Title: Violence with Impunity: The Unending Tragedy of the Israeli Occupation
Description: At a time when violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict is making major world headlines, we'll take a closer look at some of the dynamics playing out in the region with three guests.
Ron Rousseau is one of the Canadians participating in this year's Freedom Flotilla attempting to breach the Israeli imposed blockade on Gaza.
Sean Clinton is a Palestine solidarity activist based in Limerick Ireland. He speaks about the lucrative 'Blood Diamond' industry in Israel and the potential of a boycott to pressure the government and military.
Yakov Rabkin is a Professor of History at the University of Montreal, and the author of two books on the history of Modern Israel and the Zionist movement. He outlines some of this history and the internal and external forces continuing to drive Israeli expansionist policies and violence.
