Kelly said: "what is ignorant is that she is outraged because of the treatment she got. it is stupid, in this climate, to think that you're not going to get shat on for the things she did. which was why he kept saying, 'don't you understand what happened on 911 lady', worse, it's a slap in the face to the people who get shat on like that every godamned day." Bryan says: On an initial note, having read the interview with the Green party woman, I agree that she has the political tactics ...

819 Surprisingly....NY Times actually covered the Beit Umar convoy -- rank: 1000

Well, it looks like the NY Times actually covered the Beit Umar convoy that I was on and wrote about a couple of days ago. It is a pretty decent article actually. The only things I disagree with are the number of people/cars and the amount of food. They use very conservative estimates: The odd issue is the number of cars...each car had a number put on it as it was leaving Jerusalem on the convoy. There were 99 numbered cars....not 75 as said. Plus Two tons of food is way too consevative an est ...

821 About a successful action I was at today in the occupied West Bank of Palestine -- rank: 1000

Hey all, Hope you people are having decent holidays. Today I went to a really interesting, sad and inspiring demonstration near Hebron. It was a bit cold down there in the Hebron hills, but luckily it didn't rain, and there ended up being a surprisingly large turnout. Not only that, but there was reliable news before the action that we were going to be stopped by the Israeli Army (last time, about two months ago Ta'ayush went out to distribute food, they were prevented by the army). This time ...
