The  Keffiyeh,  the traditional head dress made and worn  in  Palestine, where over the years it became a symbol of Palestinian  self-determination and struggle during the 1930&#8217;s  against British occupation up to the present.   Now the Keffiyeh has been appropriated by Westerners  who may or may [...]]]></description>

Rice N Peas publishes a  video of the hours just before the  Free Gaza movement&#8217;s  &#8220;Spirit of Humanity&#8221; was boarded by Israeli naval gunships on the 30th June.   In the night,  Israel had threatened to open fire on the unarmed ship carrying humanitarian aid. In the morning they boarded the ship [...]]]></description>

What makes Aung San Suu Kyi so very special – and Buddhists will yawn – is that she is a meditator. This means her mind is well trained to grasp the implications of actions, especially violent ones, too many of our world leaders seem clueless about. They talk about annihilating, obliterating, beggaring, starving, impoverishing, raping [...]]]></description>

Today is Nakba &#8211; The anniversary of the creation of Israel.  A day of mourning for Palestinians. A day to remember loss of land and destruction of property, displacement, wars, separation of families, refugees, statelessness, poverty, death, in short a Catastrophe. 

Death comes easy where their is no respect for life &#8211; Basem&#8217;s life [...]]]></description>

Amidst all the post racial nonsense floating around the world it is not surprising the Martin Luther King&#8217;s birthday got a bit lost in the hooray hoorar.

Pambazuka News has a list of protests across African against the War on Gaza though I have to say it is somewhat sickening to see Sudanese people  amongst the protesters given the &#8220;crimes against humanity&#8221;committed by their own leaders &#8211; would have been far more meaningful if they had also protested against the genocide [...]]]></description>

The other day I was reminded of this post on &#8220;Walls around the world&#8221; I wrote 18 months ago by a friend and I promised to post it again. Now there are even more walls. The whole of Gaza has always been a walled enclave in the midst of stolen lands. Now it is surrounded [...]]]></description>
