PALESTINE : OPINION/EDITORIAL:

"THE BEST PLACE ONE COULD BE ON EARTH"
Alice Walker, The Electronic Intifada, 24 July 2009

Rolling into Gaza I had a feeling of homecoming. There is
a flavor to the ghetto. To the Bantustan. To the "rez."
Last March, poet and novelist Alice Walker traveled to the
Gaza Strip just weeks after the 22-day Israeli assault.
The Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Color Purple, now
recounts the stories of people she met in Gaza, and offers
a lyrical analysis that ties their struggle to what she
and her community experienced in the segregated American
South.

GAZA ARTIST, SURVIVOR FINDS POWER IN PAINT 
Eman Mohammed, The Electronic Intifada, 23 July 2009

Ziad Deeb, a young artist, lost his entire family and both
his legs in the Israeli attack on Gaza six months ago. In
his grief, Deeb has found solace in his work. Memories of
the massacre inspire him "to keep painting more and more,
I believe this is the only thing that can't be taken away
from me and my disability can't be an obstacle." Eman
Mohammed reports for The Electronic Intifada from Gaza.
