Al-Walaja heroism, conference in Bethlehem and more
By Mazin Qumsiyeh, PhD
A sign from Gaza: “Dear Europe, Sorry about that cloud of ash over your heads and that you can’t travel anywhere. We feel just the same. Sincerely, Gaza”
In news, Israeli soldiers were “reprimanded” for cold-blooded murder of 4 young Palestinians. I guess they would have been jailed for a few days if they first tortured the Palestinians before shooting them. And the repression continues but also the heroic action of a few dedicated, decent souls to resist.
