Hey Ruby,
I saw your post about getting a volunteer visa for the WB. I work at a Palestinian Development Consultancy firm in Ramallah and am on my third tourist visa....so i am starting to get a bit nervous about my next run. Do you know of any other people who have had the luck you have had? I am in Jerusalem all the time for meetings with IOs, and we have worked with USAID (I am American), do you think that if i follow the same steps you took, that i would have a chance? My email is trevorrugby8@yahoo.com Thanks.

That is true all around the world. And if anyone should suggest that a high status party such as Israel HAS committed a crime, there's always the US veto in the UN Security Council.

2011-07-12T16:59:43.218+03:00

A crime is only a crime when a low status party attacks a comparatively high status party. When a high status party attacks a comparatively low status party, it's not considered a crime.

Every American school child has that lesson beaten into them at a very early age.

Thanks Hani, I was thinking about you the other day! Hope you're doing good. And I think we need to do something radical in order not to give up on all of our old dreams. Any suggestions?

Very pensive post, Ruby. The 12th paragraph is gloomy yet stikes a nerve with some of my own thoughts.

You two can start an NGO. "Green Stick for the Protection of Birds" (I love how all Arab organizations and companies are "for the" something)

Nice post. I am taking up a job in Ramallah soon and would like to talk to someone who lives in the region. I have been speaking to people within the org. But, I would like to get an outsider's perspective on things.

Will you talk to me?

Well written, Ruby. I, however, feel differently about this travelling alone thing. Here is why (a blog post from four years ago!)

2011-03-25T14:42:47.058+02:00

I'm surprised they let Palestinians walk around with clothes still. I have no more words to say to describe my feelings toward the israeli people who let their army act like they do. Shame on all of them!
