the dan & carrie show

Yesterday I and the group was invovled in a protest against the Isralies buildng a sewage dump through a confiscated (without reason) farmer's field that had been in the family since before the time of Christ. The international media was there and can be found through the Palestine News Nework as well as covered by Rueters. I was actually filmed and photographed a couple a times. One time covering the camera of an Israeili solider who was filming the protestfor the Israelis. Another soldier came by up towards me during this time and as the solder was yelling at me in Hebrew. Then another protester yelled he is an American, he is an American, immediatly they backed away from me and moved. (it is amazing how much power citzenship can have when your government supports the opposing soliders and they all carry American guns and everything). Later I was told by the group that was a great thing and they had photographed it. By the way a couple members of the group attend Uncle Jacks church and have talked to him so I do not know how much you have talked to him about it. Today we visted a number of peace groups and I by myself got off the bus and walked through an Israeli check point at the West bank. Upon seeing me the Isrealis released a number of Palestians being detained in the heat, upon being realeased they walked passed me and each of the youth smiled and thanked me. I then had an Isreali solder who told me that all Palestians are animals and not to be trusted and are dangerous people (I did not tell him that I am living with a Palestine family and they are anything but animals and dangerous) I thanked him politly for the advice shook his hand and continued through the checkpoint, upon which I was later picked up by my bus.
