Al Huda School is a small, private primary school in Khan Yunis.  It serves about 400 students, a quarter of them orphans.  The school isn’t in the center of town, it is more out in the countryside. You look out the windows over fields of wheat and groves of olives.  The countryside is reflected in the building, nicely painted white and green with a large outdoor area for the children to play.  It has smaller classes than most schools in Gaza, only 20 to 25 … Continue reading

Today we joined the Global March to Jerusalem from Gaza.  Israeli soldiers shot continuosly, dozens of people injured, one killed.

I made this small video during the march. Some young people show the blood on their hands. Some guys with two motorcycles carried continuously the injured people injured to ambulances. However the Israeli soldiers kept on shooting.

Sometimes, the more things change the more they stay the same.  On March 30, 1976 during protests against the confiscation of Palestinian land, Israel killed six protesters, injured over one hundred and arrested hundreds more.  This was the first Land Day.  Every year for the last thirty six years Palestinians have commemorated the heroism of those protesters and reiterated their attachment to their lands.  This year was no different.  This year protests occurred in over eighty countries, thousands of people tried to march to Jerusalem.  Almost everywhere whoever was … Continue reading

They will never beg

19 March 2012  | International Solidarity Movement, Gaza

I have read several accounts over the last few days of how life in Southern Israel has become unbearable for the people living there. In retaliation for the latest provocation by Israel over 200 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel. 11 people were injured, one seriously. Most were suffering from “shock”. Two were injured when they tripped on the way to secure areas.

Minister of Strategic Affair  and deputy premier Moshe Yaalon on Thursday said, “Anyone threatening us is risking his life. We will retaliate until they beg us to stop.”

Foreign … Continue reading
