Palestine

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Tuesday January 11, 2011 20:17author by Con Carroll Report this post to the editors

we should shout if from every rooftop that Israel is apartheid state

we in Europe could learn a lot from the Palestinian people. their friendship hospitality welcome. one can't put into writing
watching certain people visiting the Holy Sites. I am left asking myself a question. are these people from all over the world, aware of the political reality of the lives of the people.
as we cross into the Palestinian areas of Jericho, Bethlehem the welcome and friendship is relaxed. children, greet us with smiles of appreciation. that we should be honored to be in their company, again I meet people visiting who have their eyes closed. they take their views from the media

this morning Jerusalem post. Tuesday 11. the Minister foreing affairs wants to make it more difficult for people wanting to visit Israel.
on their list is people who advocate support, boycott Israeli products. people who are migrants/asylum seekers, who political organise against Israel immigration. people who attend conferences which could be seen as a threat, protests, to underminding the security of Israel

the Israeli check points are something else, as we witness Palestinian people been detained. I want to get out of the van and roar, shout at the Israelis, I cant. I am told by Palestinians that the number of people, who travel through Tel Aviv. wanting to show their solidarity and support is down compared to 5 years ago. indeed it is known that people were deported
I am living in the home of Palestinian family I have been followed and stopped by Israeli occupying forces, asking were I come from, purpose of my been in East Jerusalem.

allow me to quote the words of retired Arch bishop Desmond Tutu, ours was a picnic compared to the reality of Palestinians
