Peace Under Fire by Ghassan Andoni
The last two years have been the most brutal in the entire thirty-six year history of Israel's military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This text reveals the real horror of life under occupation and describes the first signs of a new wave of international solidarity.
What Rachel Corrie's work in Gaza recognized was the gravity and the density of the Palestinian people as a national community, and not merely as a collection of deprived refugeesThat is what she was in solidarity with. And we need to remember that that kind of of solidarity is no longer confined to a small number of intrepid souls here and there, but is recognized the world over. -- Edward W. Said
