A GREENER GAZA CAMPAIGN

Now, Palestinians are being tested. The difference this time is that the end result will be empowering and liberating. A small community of women have been given an opportunity to challenge their environment. With just a few seeds and chickens, we will watch the home gardens flourish into something beyond the Israeli occupation. No amount of bullets, rockets, F-16s, sonic booms, can take away from these women the strength they find in their gardens.

Never will we see or read in the news, this strength. Instead we will be masked with the images of violence and terror, but that's ok. The less publicity they get the better. The easier it will be then to divest and silently break the cycle of dependency.
