         Everyday I hear in the news about firing on the Palestinian fishermen in Gaza. Yesterday I was invited to attend a strike to support the fishermen in Gaza port which was organized by the International campaign to end the siege on Gaza. Gaza fishermen take a risk to feed their children.
 
More than 3500 fishermen and 2000 work in related jobs of fishing are affected by Israeli navy attacks. They usually fire on them. Furthermore, they only allow for fishermen to fish up to 8 miles. So that, fishermen cannot fish the best. The best fishing begins at 18 miles out . Israeli navy attacks are opposed with Oslo accords of 1993stippulated that Palestinian fishermen are entitled to fish up to 20 nautical miles out. 

Palestinian believe that this unjust siege must be broken. They keep demonstrating peacefully to aware the international community about the dangerous factors resulted by Israeli siege. Palestinian come united to support the poor fishermen. 
George , a Grecian , member of international solidarity movement . he has come to Gaza on the first free boat .he said that :" I come here to support the Palestinian fishermen who suffer from the Israeli navy. since the end of war, 5 fishermen were injured, 14 boats were seized and 32 fishermen were abducted. He also add : we want to raise the attention for international community to the issue of fishermen and to establish international campaign to support them."

In OCHA report March 2009, Fishing is still restricted to three nautical miles from the coast, which prevents sufficient catches and limits profit. The damage inflicted on Rafah’s fishing stores during the hostilities has nearly halted fishing activities in Rafah. Fishing nets, rope, tiding twine, gas mantles and floats are in short supply

Don’t be selfish , think about Gaza Fishermen who have only two choices : to be poor or to work in dangerous conditions. 
Now is the time to save the souls of victims.
Take action to break the siege 
Make a pressure on your governments which keep silent on Gaza siege.
I wish world to move seriously using all ways towards breaking the siege on Gaza strip.

Life will not stop, I will challenge the Israeli occupation and rise up despite of the hurts, said : Shireen Shamia, 26 years old, a Palestinian art teacher. Shireen lives in Jabalia Camp in northern of Gaza Strip. She has lost Two of her brothers . Israeli Occupation army shelled her house around ten o'clock in the morning on 19 January 2009 by F16 warplanes where she lives with 20 of her family. 


Before the war, she sent a letter to the ministry of culture asked to make exhibition for the olive tree, she would like to use the destroyed olive tree in order to change it from a rubble to a beautiful masterpieces. 
What a pity, Israeli warplanes pilot has killed her dreams when targeted her house and damaged her art masterpieces and paintings .
How much strong is Shireen, despite all of sad situation she lives, the dream has become as a challenge. She has taken a decision to go on and make an exhibition on the rubble of her house titled "we will rise up despite of the hurts".

She presents this an exhibition to her two martyr brothers Zaher and Mohamed, all Palestinian martyrs, Palestinian prisoners, her family and relatives, Palestinian people live under siege and to whom support her in his artistic life .

On her brochure , I find her desired words, Shireen said : we will rise up despite of the hurts, the difficulties, the destruction, and the siege. The land embraces the olive tree for long time till destiny set them apart, their screaming penetrated my ears to the extent that my heart aches me. But I never give up and I didn’t stand the arms folded.
Therefore, I put the olive tree among my tools to start a dialogue in between, they decide to scratch the wood of the sad olive tree to turn it into an artistic masterpieces and immortal one. This true would witness the coward Israeli attack and to express the civilization and heritage of Palestinian and the strong well of patience and struggling people .

Shireen participated in many of exhibitions , one of them was titled The Sand of Palestine, she wanted through that to change the fragile sand into a rigid material in order to express the patience and the strong desire of continuity.  


 At the end, Shireen asks : for how long we live under siege , but she insists on that we will stay patience on this land .

Adham Khalil writing from Jabaliya refugee camp, the occupied Gaza Strip, Live from Palestine, 13 January 2009 

 
It is very horrible here. Today was the worst. There were lots of F-16s above us and white phosphorous falling from the sky. 

I didn't sleep last night. The sound of shelling in the north and east kept us all awake.

Most of the time we don't have any electricity in my house. So when the power comes for an hour or two the whole family is busy. We charge our mobiles, pump water, bake bread. But I have seen so many horrible things on TV that sometimes I wish we could stay without power.

So far, my own family is okay but I feel shy to speak about my family. I don't think like that. Everyone in Gaza is my family. We are suffering collectively as we are being punished and forgotten collectively, and we are dying.

It is very dangerous here and everywhere in Gaza. By 5pm the streets are empty. Not even one person goes out of their homes in my area. But even in our homes, we are not safe. I swear sometimes I can smell death around us.

It is not true to say this is a war between Hamas and Israel. I am an eyewitness in Gaza and though you may think that Gaza is a country and Hamas is a great and powerful army, these are lies. The Palestinian factions do not own tanks, warplanes, or warships. They have homemade rockets, simple weapons. They cannot do anything against Israel's great and powerful army. 

We are living under complete siege with daily killings and our houses destroyed. Hamas and other Palestinian factions are trying to defend Palestinians from the continuing massacres, invasions and air strikes. The Israeli occupation and actions in Gaza are terrorist actions, as are many of their actions and policies dating back to their ethnic cleansing campaign in 1948.

But I think this, right now, is the worst catastrophe I will see in my life.

I don't have any guns or weapons. I struggle by simply telling the truth. Many people have asked me if there is a way to send money or food. But what we really need is our freedom and an end to the fire.

Don't keep silent about the Israeli massacres and Holocaust against Palestinians. The demand for an end to this siege must be louder than the bombs that rain down upon us.

Date: 13 / 01 / 2009 Time: 12:23  


Gaza – Ma’an – Everything was on fire; houses, sheds, trees. 

Bombs, too, were everywhere, and with them came the white clouds. White phosphorous, the doctors are now saying, but that's disputed in Israel. 

But for sure it was a night of terror. We were terrified. We thought we were going to burn to death. 

Bombs were everywhere. That's what 27-year-old Fadia Al-Najjar kept saying. She's from Khaza'a; she was telling us what kind of horrific night she and her family had just gone through. 

While explaining what had happened, Fadia stood next to her paramedic husband Ghanem, now surrounded by other medics, desperately struggling to save his life after he was caught in an airstrike unlike he had ever seen before. 

Ghanem was incapacitated while on duty trying to bring injured Palestinians to the hospital. There had been calls reporting mysterious white smoke in the latest airstrike, and Ghanem was dispatched to attend to the wounded. He was on duty when he inhaled some of the smoke. 

"The shelling with phosphorous bombs started in Khaza'a. Two of the bombs hit the area around our house,” Fadia explained. She recalled how the fire spread quickly throughout the home, and white smoke billowed out the windows. 

"Neighbors were screaming, asking for help; the fire was changing," she remembers. "I woke up my kids, got them to my parents’ house, hoping to find a safer place."

"But the real catastrophe was two hours after we had moved to my parents’ house; bombs hit their home too and the fire spread everywhere. The top floor was burnt completely.”

It's not just her husband Fadia keeps watch over. In fact, the young mother has to split her time among the hospital's many wards. Her children have also been hospitalized.

"They wanted to burn us alive inside the house. There were 40 of us in there. Men, women, children,” she recalls of the second bombing. "We could hear their bodies burning." 


"We didn't know where to go. Our house, my parents' house, my in-laws' house? All were burnt, damaged, destroyed. But where can we go in this weather? It's very cold."

Zakaya 

Another relative, 51-year-old Zakaya, said she struggled to make sense of the chaos and confusion of trying to find her injured family members at Naser Hospital in the northwest of Gaza City. 

Zakaya told Ma'an that she barely remembers what happened, "but at about 10:00pm we heard explosions in several areas of Khaza'a, coming closer and closer."

"We live so close to the border wall (targeted by Israel), so we were just so afraid; our fear reached a maximum level." 

"The children were asleep, so I tried to wake some of them because I felt our home was no longer safe," she says. "And all of the sudden bombs fell all over our two-story house." 

"White smoke filled the house, and suddenly fires were spreading inside," Zakaya explained while checking on her children at the hospital's intensive care unit. 

"We started screaming; we were so scared. I started to get the kids outside but the bombing went on and six more bombs fell on our house." 

After the sixth bomb hit the home Zakaya and those her family was able to get out of the home were forced to abandon those left in the building. The fire was too hot and the smoke too intense and no one could get back inside. 

"The smoke was spreading so fast; we couldn't see through it. We couldn't see, but we could hear.” From the windows of the burning home the cries of her children and cousins filled the streets. “The cries were not just from my home, but from the neighbors' house too."

Paramedics arrived and evacuated some of the last who were rescued from the building. They braved the smoke and were able to rescue a few others before the entire building was engulfed in flames. 

Adel 

According to 48-year-old Adel Kdeih, the night was calm before the bombs hit. Now that he knows what it was, that it was phosphorous, "it just makes the situation that more horrible." 

Kdeih came hurrying to the hospital to check up on his children injured by the phosphorous, but he also remembers how tired he was. He was in great shock, numb, when he told Ma'an how the "dozens of incendiary bombs fell on civilian houses." 

"We could hear women and children screaming in fear," he says. 

Many of the bombs fell on the courtyard of his house. "I hurried inside the house to wake up my twelve children. I was able to evacuate the house with the help of paramedics and others from the [Hamas-run] civil-defense team."

"When I was evacuating the house I saw a lot of houses and fields being burnt, too,” he recalls. 

The doctor 

Dr Yousef Abu Ar-Reesh, the medical director at Nasser Medical Center, said more than 90 patients were brought in for burn treatments Sunday night. 

"Most of them were skin burns, lacerations and deep wounds. A lot of them came in choking, unable to breathe," he explains. 

He explained that as far as he can tell the Israeli army is using two kinds of bombs,"The first causes severe skin burns and leads to death, as with 41-year-old Hanan Al-Najjar here, and others."

"The second kind leads to suffocation, congestion, the inability to breathe.”

Dr Ar-Reesh said that he cannot confirm that the bombs are white phosphorus, since there are no specialized laboratories in Gaza. The eyewitness reports and the type of injuries he has seen in the hospital, however, worry him. 

"What is certain” he said, “is that the Israeli government is using a new kind of bomb and explosives that Palestinian medics have never even heard of." 

"Not even the Arab medical teams who just arrived can give us any support," he says. 

The doctor pointed out that the wounds and burns are "terrible and horrific." 

"And they can lead to death, as with Hanan Al-Najjar, who burned to death when a shell directly hit her body.” 

When asked if Israel is deliberately using weapons that are illegal under international law for use against civilians, Dr Ar-Reesh chooses his words carefully: "I can't rule that out."]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:01:00 EST http://nagyelali.tigblog.org/post/568527 Some Israeli soldiers choosing jail over Gaza operation http://nagyelali.tigblog.org/post/568017

Date: 12 / 01 / 2009 Time: 21:30  


Bethlehem – Ma’an – For the first time since Israel launched its massive air, sea and ground assault on the Gaza Strip, at least ten soldiers have opted for prison terms rather than going through with their deployment. 

On "conscience’s grounds," the Israeli troops refused orders to head to the Gaza Strip, preferring a 14-day prison stint and rounding criticism from fellow soldiers and society at large. 

At least ten are awaiting trial for violations of orders, saying they cannot go through with them. 

No'em Levna, a first lieutenant in Israel's army, refused to serve in Gaza, saying, "We killed 900 Palestinians in 17 days, including hundreds of children."

"If violence must be used, it should be used minimally, and that isn't what’s happening," he added. "Killing innocent civilians cannot be justified. Nothing justifies this kind of killing. It’s devilish."

"It is Israeli arrogance based on logic. It’s saying, 'if we hit more, everything will be okay,'" he said. "But the hatred and anger we are planting in Gaza will rebound on us."

Date: 08 / 01 / 2009 Time: 14:16  


Bethlehem – Ma’an – Teams from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) discovered “shocking” scenes, including four small children next to their dead mothers, when rescue workers gained access to the Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza on Wendesday.

The Zaytoun area has been heavily shelled by the Israeli military since Saturday. Until Wednesday the Israeli military had made it impossible for medics to reach the area, ICRC said.

The ICRC, in an unusually harsh statement, is accusing the Israeli army of failing to fulfill its obligations to protect civilians in war.

When they finally gained access to the Zaytoun neighborhood, ICRC found another man alive, too weak to stand up. In all there were at least 12 corpses lying on mattresses. 

In another house, the ICRC rescue teams found 15 other survivors of this attack including several wounded. In yet another house, they found an additional three corpses. Israeli soldiers posted at a military position some 80 meters away from this house ordered the rescue team to leave the area which they refused to do. There were several other positions of Israeli soldiers nearby as well as two tanks. 

"This is a shocking incident," said Pierre Wettach, the ICRC's head of delegation for Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. "The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded. Neither did they make it possible for us or the Palestine Red Crescent to assist the wounded." 

Large earth walls erected by the Israeli army had made it impossible to bring ambulances into the neighborhood. Therefore, the children and the wounded had to be taken to the ambulances on a donkey cart. In total, the ICRC rescue team evacuated 18 wounded and 12 others who were extremely exhausted. Two corpses were also evacuated. 

The ICRC was informed that there are more wounded sheltering in other destroyed houses in this neighborhood The ICRC said it would recover the remaining corpses on Thursday.

Dear all , 

It is not true to say " war between Hamas and Israel , It is Israeli terrorist occupation that have invaded and occupied Palestine since 1948 . I am eyewitness from Gaza , you may think that Hamas is a country has powerfull and great army , It is lies , Hamas and othere factions are trying to defend palestinians from the continuing masacres ,invasions,airstrikes.... Hey , Palestinian factions do not own tanks,warplanes ,warships and rockets ... They have homemade missiles , minds and simple weapons , they cannot do anything against Israeli great powerfull army , I think it is away to act our reaction to Israeli agressions and masacres against Palestinian civilians.

What are u waiting from Palestinians who live under complete siege , dailly killed and their houses destroyed .Are you waiting them to smile and thank Israelis ?!

Human who keeps sillent of Israeli masacres and Holocaust against Palestinian is main part of it .

UN: Israel committing "wanton aggression" in the Gaza Strip

New York - Ma'an/UN - The behavior by Israel in bombarding Gaza is simply the commission of wanton aggression by a very powerful state against a territory that it illegally occupies.

Time has come to take firm action if the United Nations does not want to be rightly accused of complicity by omission.

The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war. 

Those violations include: 

Collective punishment - The entire 1.5 million people who live in the crowded Gaza Strip are being punished for the actions of a few militants. 

Targeting civilians - The airstrikes were aimed at civilian areas in one of the most crowded stretches of land in the world, certainly the most densely populated area of the Middle East. 

Disproportionate military response - The airstrikes have not only destroyed every police and security office of Gaza's elected government, but have killed and injured hundreds of civilians; at least one strike reportedly hit groups of students attempting to find transportation home from a university.

I remind all member states of the United Nations that the UN continues to be bound to an independent obligation to protect any civilian population facing massive violations of international humanitarian law - regardless of what country may be responsible for those violations. 

I call on all member states, as well as officials and every relevant organ of the United Nations system, to move expeditiously not only to condemn Israel's serious violations, but to develop new approaches to providing real protection for the Palestinian people.


***H.E. Mr. Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann is president of the 63rd session of the United Nations General Assembly. He issued this statement at UN Headquarters in New York on 27 December 2008.

Two Stories from the Israeli Holocaust to Palestinians


Two weeks ago , Hassan Abu Safi , aged 20 , one of my relatives visited my house to invite us to his wedding party . I asked him to have a drink , he replied :" I am busy , I have to invite other people" . I went with my Family to his party and it was wonderful in which he was so happy , dancing with people . One week later of his Party , Israeli occupation army had invaded the eastern Part of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip where Hassan lives with his family . His neighbors' house had been bombed earlier that day, and Hassan had been shuttling the neighbors to the nearest medical care. When Hassan returned home, he went to his bedroom and was talking on the mobile phone on the balcony when an Israeli soldier aimed and shot him in the head. The ambulance faced difficulties to take him from the house .
Even the Israeli tanks surrounded the house , Hassan's mother with her sons put themselves in danger and went to the hospital , they found Hassan in Death freezer .
Hassan's family cannot bury him, because they were sequestered in one room in their house. The Israeli army has taken over the rest of the house to use as a sniper base.
Finally Hassan's father called his wife and sons : " wait until tomorrow afternoon , If I cannot come , go and burry him " . What a pity , the Israeli still took over the house and they couldn't participate in his funeral . Hassan was buried and his wife , Father were still sequestered in one room .


Mohammed Al Borie , 5 months , he was born after 5 years of his parents got married . He was killed when Israeli aircraft shelled the area where he was with his parents , their house is a simple one that cannot carry out the fragments of Israeli rockets . Mohammed , the alone son was killed in Israeli Holocaust .
Hassan and Mohammed are two of 118 were killed , One third of the victims were children , 320 were injured in this militant operation .

]]> Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:03:00 EST http://nagyelali.tigblog.org/post/340831 Eid-Al-Adha under the Israeli siege on Gaza Strip http://nagyelali.tigblog.org/post/320079 Today is the first day of Eid-Al-Adha in which all Muslims in the whole world celebrate: Men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing to perform Eid prayer in any mosque. Muslims who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals (usually sheep, but also camels, cows, and goats) as a symbol of Ibrahim's (Abraham's) sacrifice. According to the Quran a large portion of the meat has to be given towards the poor and hungry people so they can all join in the feast which is held on Eid-Al-Adha. The regular charitable practices of the Muslim community are demonstrated during Eid-Al-Adha by the concerted effort to see that no impoverished Muslim is left without sacrificial food during these days. People in these days are expected to visit their relations, starting with their parents, then their families and friends.
Since I was born on this occupied land, I have heard people around me saying, “We hope that the next Eid-Al-Adha will be come and to celebrate at same time that Palestine will be liberated from the Israeli occupation, establishing our independent state and Jerusalem as a capital of it and refugees return to their native homes.”
In fact, the situation here has deteriorated. Israeli occupation has continued it's policy against Palestinian civilians, killing Palestinian civilians, imposing siege, poverty and unemployment range is increasing, destroying Palestinian houses and also increasing of prisoners and settlements numbers... Every Palestinian family celebrates Eid with big pain because all of them have had the sad experience of losing someone, have been injured or prisoners or they have are homeless .
Today, the 43rd patient died as a result of imposing siege on Gaza Strip. Yesterday, 13 Palestinians were killed by Israelis through assassination operations, targeting them by Israeli helicopters and discovery planes.

Gaza celebrates Eid except the suffering:
The United Nations office for the co-ordination of humanitarian affairs made a report about the economical situation in Gaza strip in which they said:
- More Gazans than ever need food and direct assistance;
- Fuel shortages have threatened essential services and water supply;
- Life-saving treatments are not available in Gaza’s hospitals;
- 17 per cent of patients with referrals were refused exit for treatment in Israel, East Jerusalem or overseas;
- The on-going isolation of Gaza threatens the local economy;
- Baby milk, medicines, and cooking oil are increasingly scarce;
- Hundreds of businesses have gone bankrupt due to ban on imports/exports;
- Thousands of laborers have lost their jobs due to the collapse of the building industry;
- Building projects worth US$370 million are on hold indefinitely.
People are starving here while the international community is keeping silent. I, a Palestinian who is one of them, blame the United Nations, security council and everyone who witnesses our suffering .
Are you happy and proud of what happens here? Do not forget that you are a human as us: so where is the humanity? Is this the world that you are looking to live in?

West says that Bin Laden is a terrorist and East say that Bush is the terrorist ...i think it is complicated problem .... the problem that is defining the terrorism and who is the terrorist ? what is the difference between military resistance and terrorism ? and also we have to ask ourselves especially governmental and politics why they become terrorist s ?I think we have to say it frankly that they become like this because there are injustice in this world , there is a country who controls world ? there is no real democracy and equally in this world ?
I will give u an example of Palestinian case , all militants wings of Palestinian parties are considered terrorist wings ? simply because they fight Israel who has occupied their land , on the other hand Israeli who commits massacres in Palestine and Lebanon is considered as a peaceful state because America wants that ...........This is not justice world who keeps silent on American massacres in Iraq ,Afghanistan , Vietnam , ........So it is simple to finish terrorism from this world and make it safe if we give people their rights ....
Besides , i think West and USA must change their policy because in this time Extremist people will win finally and control every thing in Arab and Islamic world because they have strong ways to convince others , simply they will say to us ,look to American Army who has killed l people in Iraq and USA allows for Israeli to kill Palestinian and Lebanese , we must fight them ..... what u want us to say for them ...........
So Who is the terrorist ?????????

Gilad Shalit says On broadcast audiotape : I am sick, I miss my family and my friends; respond to the demands of the mujahideen; don’t leave me in captivity!" With these words, Shalit opened the first recording of him since his capture in Gaza a year ago.
All the world stands especially Israeli community interested to listen to this audio type making solidarity with him asking the Palestinian strugglers to release him , otherwise all the world still keep silent about more than 10000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli Jails , everyday , Israeli army occupation kidnap Palestinian political leaders , civilians without any accuse and put them in jails .
On the other hand ,the Palestinian strugglers who have kidnapped the Israeli soldier want to release him because they kidnapped him to exchange him with Palestinian prisoners whose number more than 10000 prisoners . The kidnappers requested the release of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners to be released for Shalit, including children, women, the elderly and the unwell.
Israeli Prime Minister Olmert said during the Sharm Al Sheikh summit that he would suggest to his government to release 250 prisoners from the Fatah movement who do not have blood on their hands .
Israeli policy try to divide Palestinian by releasing Fateh prisoners , so what about others M. Olmert aren't they Palestinian ? Besides, He said that he will not release prisoners who do not have blood on their hands , M. Olmert and Israeli forgetten that those prisoners love life and also their families but they sacrifice themselves towards Palestine , they choose to be strugglers against Israeli racist occupation . I think who must be in jails are the Israeli leaders and soldiers who have Palestinian blood on their hands as Gilad Shalit who was captured in a tank that was used to killed Palestinians ,destroyed many of agricultural land and houses , Isn't he one of killers who deserve to be in Jail .
Noam Shalit, the father of kidnapped Israel occupation Forces soldier Gilad Shalit said in the open letter to his son that he published in the Palestinian daily Al Quds is " We in the family, your mother, your father, Hadas and Yoel, hope you feel well and are managing despite the tough conditions, the winter and the difficult situation you have been in for over six months. My Gilad, we miss you very, very much and want to see you with us and hug you tight, and so does the whole family and all your friends from school. We hope it will be very soon."
Palestinian child asking to release her father from Israeli jails :
Oh my father! Why they deprive me from you.
They had arrested you
before I kiss you, only one kiss.
Even before to wipe my mother’s tears.
Oh, my occupied childhood!!
I am a flower of Palestine.
Number of my identity is seventy thousand.
I have not seen you since rising the sun.
Feast follows other feast.
And you still standing behind iron bars .
Oh,Hey. ..you kissing your sons every morning.
I want my father back, I want my father back.
The question is how can Gilad be released while more than 10000 Palestinians still in Israeli jails ? I think the Israeli government must think about others , Gilad is a human and Palestinian prisoners are also humans , so Israeli u have to understand this method that Gilad Shalit is not better than Palestinian prisoners .

44 Italian youth left their country to visit Occupied Palestine , they visited Jerausalem , Jericho and Gaza Strip which Potentially will be identified as the Fifth dangerous place in the world through the project " Sport Under The Siege " to share Palestinian their suffering simply trying to broken the siege which has been imposed on Palestine Yelling " Palestina Libera " .
In fact , i was with them all days they were in Gaza , we organized for them a schedule in which they visited many of cultural centers , played with Palestinian football teams , interesting places . i like thier faces which is full of hope and solidarity with Palestinian . I talked with all of them trying to know every things make them Palestinian's supporters , i hold interview with three Of them Sarah and Corrien asking them a few questions :

Why do you support Palestinians?
Sarah : Because they have been oppressed since 1948. I am against every kind of restriction to human freedom, that’s why I support Palestinian people. And more, in recent years, since the beginning of the second Intifada, the restriction to freedom has become more and more strong, with the construction of the wall.
Corrine : The Palestinian issue has always been something carried out in the structure I come from which is a social center called Corto Circuito. We always felt the injustice that you had to face since 1948. We always talked about the political situation both by demonstrating in support of you and against the Israelis government. When I read about Palestine I think about your sufferings, the lack of freedom and also about the miss treatments, the unjust killings, the unharmed civil society..the poverty you were pushed to, the unemployment
Why do you participate in “sport under the siege”?
Sarah : For the same reasons, more or less. I think the “sport under the siege” project is a good way to keep in touch with palestinian people, as a demostration of our soliarity towards them.We know how difficult it is for you to travel out of Palestine, so meeting foreign people, especially in Gaza, it is important for you.
Corrine : Sport Under the Siege was an idea that brought together two of the things we carry out in our social center, the need to yell out the truth of what is happening in palestine and our love for sports, football in particular. In the social center we have a gym and a football field. The gym's activities started almost 10 years ago when we tried to give an alternative to the kids and teenagers who lived in the streets most of their times in a borough, in the periphery of Rome, lacking of infrastructures and places where to hangout. It was a high bet, but we succeeded in giving them this alternative, adding to the simple practice of sports the instruments to become critical towards a society that wants us without ideas and things to fight for...against who wants us to be numb. After several years we understood the potentials that the practice of sport has. So we thought, why don't we try to use it also as a means for cooperating with someone who we already support politically? The practice of sport means living, living means resisting. We thought that sport could have given you a little bit more freedom, the possibility to move, to share some time with someone you could not see otherwise, to meet different cultures and spend some time together sharing ideas and views. I play football but not at a professional level, it is most of the time an excuse for me to meet with my friends and spend some time together .
What did you feel when you played football with Palestinians feminine ?
Sarah : It was great.For me, as a woman, it was really good to see that young girls keep on living also thanks to the fact they play football. I’m not a real football player but I had fun. More than this, the feminine teams we played against, in Gaza and in Jericho, were really good.
Corrine : This time playing football was an excuse to meet Palestinian people and see with my eyes what is happening in all the territories. It was a great experience, no matter who won or who lost. The girls we played against with had never met another girls team, or if they did it was not an easy issue. There is no other team in the GAza strip which plays football; we gave them the chance to confront themselves with someone else, and this is really important when you practice sports. The day ended with the promise that we will meet again..it is important to have something to look towards to.
What are you going to tell your people about Palestine?
Sarah : I’m going to tell simply what I’ve seen. Tell Italian people that the things Europeans journalists write about Palesatine are not completely the truth. I’m going to tell te good times we spent with you, triyng to forget that you are still living under occupation. The time we spent in the Erez checkpoint, while plaestinians were left waiting for hours and hours.
I’ll try to describe the city of Jerusalem, were Palestinians have a Jordan passport.
I’ll try to explain the faults that Europe and the International Community have in your story.
Corrine : I'll tell my friend no more than what I have seen, a friendly nation. People that have the will and the strength to go on. No matter what, you keep on going on. You are strong, and your identity makes you stronger. I will talk about your suffering and also about the nice way you have treated me.
What is your mission after visiting Palestine?
Sarah : I think our “mission” is to talk about Palestine in our country, so that your story could not be forgotten.
Corrine: I am attending a master course in "human development and food security". I would love to come back and help also through my experience and studies, although the situation is not the safest. As you know we were looked after 24 hours a day by the police. But this would not prevent people from coming and helping you. Now that I know the way you behave I am sure that if any one would like to come and visit you he/she will face no problem if she or he is looked after as I was .
Did you feel safe in Palestine?
Sarah :I felt safe, but in our case we were always sourrounded by police. I can say that the situation in Gaza was much more less dangerous than what I expected. When in Europe you hear news about Gaza, it is always bad news.
Corrine : We were looked after 24 hours a day by the police,
so yes I did feel safe. Plus I had many friends (who I met in the previous editions of Sport Under the Siege) who stayed with me making me feel protected. The situation is different when you move in the West Bank.

Finally , I hope that all the people in the whole world make like those Italian youth who believe in humanity and human rights . No one force them to support Palestinian , they are convinced in our justice lasting peace and our rights to establish our country Palestine and Jerusalem as a capital . we need your support to broke this injustice siege which has been imposed by Israel and United States Of America , we need u voice to tell people the truth . I promise you
, I will not forget u vioces while yelling Palestina Libera , Palestina russa , Free Free Palestine .]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 11:04:00 EDT http://nagyelali.tigblog.org/post/182711
