She is a member of the Writer's Guild in Los Angeles. She's been to the occupied West Bank six times, and this was meant to be her first to Gaza. In 2002 ,she was beaten by illegal settlers from Itamar near Yanoon, where she was helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives and was on the first voyage to Gaza. Mary is a co-founder of the Free Gaza movement and was on board the FREE GAZA in 2008, when it was the first boat to land in Gaza in 41 years. read full story / add a comment
