Last night was my last evening in Kibbutz Gevim, Sderot. We spent the night listening to music, watching True Blood (yes, it's popular here), all the while listening to (and feeling) the air-strikes on Gaza. Luckily, we didn't have a Tseva Adom last ... Read more >

So last night, although we were supposed to go to Tel Aviv, by the time we were done working on our various media projects it was just too late. Instead, we went to Paz's friend's house near Sderot. It was one of the best nights I've had yet. There ... Read more >

Last night was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it (as far as rallies and protests go.) It was just...I really don't have the words. I'm still processing last night because so much happened and I spoke with so many people. As we were walking ... Read more >

To sum up the first of my protest adventures, I'd call it a great success! I arrived last night knowing one person there (and by know, I mean, I knew her name and that she knew some English and that she could introduce me to other people.) Within three ... Read more >
