Will look forward to our next Skype conversation about your thoughts & experiences and life at university & Israel. Stay safe my darling daughter and we'll talk soon. Take care, Love always, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32788834.post-16333912571969340272009-01-11T01:25:00.000-08:002009-01-11T01:25:00.000-08:00Hi there- what a moving and humble account of your...Hi there- what a moving and humble account of your experience in J'salem. I felt the same way. It was so strange to just go to classes and to obsess over paper deadlines, when I knew that my fellow students from Isawiya and other villages, had other worries. Did you notice a heightened use of those black and white Palestinian scarves at Rothberg? And I knew that Gaza was just a couple hour's drive away, a fateful trip that separated me and my liberal luxury from their hell. <BR/><BR/>I've read some interesting comments on the english version of al jazeera. One of them made an impression on me and presented a persepctive that we do not often hear. A man from the west bank said he supports the Gazans not because they are Hamas but because they are fellow Palestinians; what happens to them, happens to me. <BR/><BR/>When 9/11 happened, I lived in Austria. I am not a big nationalist, but I felt compelled to hang up an American flag on our balcony. It did not make me a bigger Bush supporter (it would have been hard to be less supportive of Bush), but it was a way to show my solidarity with my people. Zeo.<BR/><BR/>Be well- I'll go to my own blog now - I feel a piece coming on...<BR/>AAdriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032833669369084454noreply@blogger.com
