This Isn't News
Westerners may think that we’re familiar with the Israeli/Palestinian situation through the drip drip of reports on “the Middle East problem” in the media. Yet almost no information reaches us on the reality of life for Palestinians. I made a short visit to Palestine in 2002, which was an astonishing and humbling experience. It was scary, seeing Israeli tanks on the streets, and hearing first-hand accounts of detention, torture and death – but that isn’t all there is to the Palestinian situation. The real story is all the mundane tragedies, the blighted educations, the unused health facilities, the children growing up without their parents, the depression and stress that blight everyone’s lives.
