This Body is a Prison
  How do I know sovereignty is innate
    in every living thing?
  A man or woman
  under the cruelest conditions
  can stare into the sun
  until they go blind.

    An act of will-
    Choosing blindness, that inalienable right


And believe me, people do.
When all else has been taken.

This blog chronicles the four months I
spent in the Middle East, spanning 2005
and 2006. I lived in the West Bank for
most of the trip, filming a documentary about
the psychological impacts of occupation.

  Shuu il-aKHbaar (what's the news):

"Israel has normalized its behaviour patterns and has created a mainstream public which passively supports these policies in the name of security. This disconnection between citizens and state is one of the reasons Israel can justify violations of human rights and international law to a domestic audience."

"The real question I ask myself is: who are these people who are trying to provoke the civil war? Now the Americans will say it's... the death squads. Many of the death squads work for the Ministry of Interior. Who runs the Ministry of Interior in Baghdad? Who pays the Ministry of the Interior? Who pays the militia men who make up the death squads? We do, the occupation authorities."

Thanks for posting about the Palestinian perspective.  We only seem to get the Israeli/US version over here; State-terrorists in cahoots that the US and Israel are.

Peace
