I am preparing to travel to Palestine. Purpose is to see the situation first hand and volunteer/contribute in some way. It is a small effort in opposition to the billions of US tax dollars which routinely go to support the occupation.
Meanwhile the situation in Gaza is still tense. The US financed and Jordanian trained Fatah soldiers were conveniently let through Rafah border crossing by Israel so as to do their dirty work. On PBS Lehrer show Ray Suarez scolded the Palestinians and suggested - with a straight face - that Fatah and Hamas would be better off working together rather than killing each other and bystanders. Thanks Ray. Meanwhile there are some real journalists who have described what is going on including the hidden hands of manipulation. Like this journalist and mother living in Gaza: a-mother-from-gaza.blogspot.com
Travel, observations and experiences in Israel and Occupied Palestine.
