I just wanted to add that the effect of the wall is slowly destroying everything here...women giving birth at checkpoints because they can't reach hospital, families being split up, people losing their citizenship because they lived on the wrong side for too long and the whole disgusting blatant land grab means stopping this being extended and getting what's there (it's huge) is vital.

Jess: this is taking such a lot of emotional strength from all of you, to get through the pressures for one week. It's hard to imagine how they cope all the time. Any comparisons with Ireland come to mind?
ANyway, come back safe. You're doing a great service telling what you see.
Love
Mum
I agree with your mum about Ireland - similar oppression, similar resistance, the pressure of occupation and soldiers younger than your sons aiming at you all the time. You are both great writers and I hope that more people than are commenting are reading this amazing blog.
See you next week.
