Gaza Stip Documentary

It's worth your time. It's a documentary made by James Longley, who went over to Gaza in 2001, and follows the story of Mohammed Hejazi, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy. It is really an eye opener, to see the violence that occurs daily in the lives of these people. Anyways, thought you all might be interested. If you want more info on the documentary, and the story behind making it, you can go to http://www.littleredbutton.com/gaza/about.html.

Shamra's Jerusalem Blog

Okay, I accept my epic failure as a blogger. However, I want to still use this page to put up things that I have learned from my time in the Holy Land-- mostly about the Palestinian--Israeli conflict, and information I have come across about that. So hopefully some people out there are still reading my blog...I wouldn't blame any of you for being a bit skeptical when it comes to me and blogging, but I'm going to try.

For starters, there's a website one of the students from our trip put together. The website provides current information, and tries to keep people as informed as possible about the reality of the situation in the Holy Land. It's Progress4IsraelPalestine.wordpress.com. Go there!

If you didn't guess by now....

...I am back from Jerusalem. This is something I am very, very sad about, as you can see in this picture with my JC roommates and me at the airport on the way home.



I just wanted to tell all of you (2 months later...classic Shamra blogging technique..) THANK-YOU for reading my blog, being patient with my unreliable, awful blogging habits...and stay tuned (if any of you still look at this page!) because I have some ideas for this blog...

I am happy to be here in Oregon, with my friends, and a new job. And that's all I have to say about my life.
