Wow, that was a heated debate. Thanks for the link I recommend that everyone listen to this video, if not to hear the different views, for entertainment. That was some good radio! Higgins you can tell is sick of the kind of politics where you just label someone an "anti-Semite", "terrorist", etc... I really am too labeling someone like that just to invoke fear and hatred and totally skirting around the real issues sickens me. This kind of politics need to end, but it never will as people keep buying into it; and as long as people keep labeling others terrorists etc... to further their own personal agenda. As far as commenting on the actual content of the show when Higgins asked the guy specific questions about Gaza he had no idea the answers to said questions. Yet here this guy is making all these claims about Gaza and cannot even answer the simplest question about the damn place. This kind of politics on both sides of the fence need to go.

Hi Mate
Brilliant Response.

Higgins surely got Grahams tail between his legs.

People cry foul to media influence and rant about nonfactual information.

You can not compete with a person who has had first hand experience on numerous of times,and witnessed the atrocities that don't get a mention.

Great listening, as You I hope more people get to hear his story.

Thanks

Ocker

Here Michael gives a great speech to parliament on the Dáil motion about Interception of Gaza humanitarian Flotilla
