the simple truth.


It's good to read this in the BBC. Today they are reporting what many people have known to be the truth for a long time: Israel's colonies have been eating away at Palestinian land. This is a basic fact and the truth of it is that while there is talk of peace negotiations the situation on the ground is the division and isolation of the Palestinian people into thousands of enclaves. Check out this short article and the map I have included. This is one very big reason why daily life in Palestine is anything but normal.

You can also listen to this 30 minute press conference with Richard Falk the rapporteur for the UN talking in more detail about this situation.
