Palestine
Palestine
Palestine is the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of Jews. Our overwhelming success in creating the Jewish state of Israel on Palestinian land, comes at a terrible price to both the Palestinians and increasingly to Jews.
In order to maintain support for the occupation, the pro-Israel establishment discourages witnesses to Palestine. I spent a month in Palestine in 2003/2004.

Jenin, 11pm. The city roads are closed for the night by the Israeli Defense Force. Our Red Crescent ambulance couldn't get permission to go to the hospital, so we take the family via back roads.
In 2003, the Palestinian Red Crescent (Red Cross equivalent) hosted me for one month. Most Jews never see the occupation from the other side.
