On Saturday 18th January about 40 members of PIH sang as part of an international link in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
An excellent photographic exhibition; ‘Not Afraid to Look’, was hosted by Out of the Blue in Leith. This displayed some of the photographic work of the late Tom Hurndall who was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper in Gaza 10 years ago. It also celebrated the life of activist Rachel Corrie, killed by an Israeli bulldozer as she stood protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home.
The ‘Boycott Song’ and ‘Wall around Jericho’ were greatly appreciated by Rachel’s parents who participated in the Skype link up. The Gazan’s, whose ongoing resistance and amazing spirit inspired us, enjoyed the choir’s effort to sing a popular song in Arabic.
Protest in Harmony
...is an Edinburgh-based radical singing group.
We meet one Saturday each month to learn songs of freedom and struggle from around the world. All are welcome.
