Visit Palestine Documentary by Katie Barlow

Published on July 20, 2007

What drives a young, well-educated Westerner to volunteer as a “peace activist” instead of learning about hair restoration in the Middle East?

Caiomhe Butterly is one of a growing number of volunteers who risk their own safety to intervene in the long-running and bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine. Several internationals, including her, have now been injured. Some have died.

In this film, she describes witnessing the aftermath of the attack on Jenin in April 2002. The film follows her work, the main emphasis being “the accompaniment of communities at risk”. Despite being threatened, shot in the leg and deported later that year, she is determined to go back.

In the interim, she brings her story back to her native Ireland at public meetings, receives a Time Magazine “European Hero Award”, and travels to post-war Iraq to visit the Palestinian refugee camps. She arrives back in Jenin, shortly before a young woman from that community,Hanadi Jaradat, blows herself up in a suicide bombing in Haifa.

Tuesday, 11 July 2006

Dear Starbucks Customer,

First and foremost I want to thank you for making Starbucks the $6.4 billion global company it is today, with more than 90,000 employees, 9,700 stores, and 33 million weekly customers.

Renew Support for Palestine Appeal

Published on June 13, 2007

MANAMA, JUNE 12, (BNA) Bahrain society in support of Palestine called for rejuvenating commitment to the Arab Palestinian cause and mustering up fresh support to the Palestinian people by raising money for development projects in Palestine.

In a statement marking the 40th anniversary of Quds occupation, the Society highlighted the Judaization policies and stifling Apartheid Wall aimed at stripping Al Quds from its Arab identity, holding it captive and fragmenting it. The illegal and unbridled influx of Jews into Palestine are meant to displace Palestinians and deprive them of their fundamental rights as well as Judaize the city’s religious sanctities, the Society noted. The Arab-named Al Buraq Wall was forgely renamed as “The Weeping Wall” while the unabated and continuous digging threatens to pull down Al Aqsa Mosque which is also subject to explosive device attacks and forceful incursions and runs the risk of having part of it confiscated and allocated for Jewish prayers, the Society added.
