Dahlia Wasfi, M.D. (part 2) speaks to the Winter Soldier II Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) events in March, 2008. Dr. Wasfi, daughter of a Jewish mother and an Iraqi Muslim father, puts into context the background of the war in Iraq. "It is an extension of the 60-year occupation of Palestine. That is what's going on here. It's much bigger than bigger than 2001 or 2003. There are joint American-Israeli operations in occupied Palestine, in occupied Iraq. Ours is blind, military, political and financial support that is the only reason that the Israelis, the Israeli government can continue to do what they do.
