Zionism is still alive

ignorance only happens because we allow it.

Salam,
this is a solidarity, educational political visit.
boarding the flight at Amsterdam air-port, Monday night. I noticed alot of people from Judaism on the flight.
I was the only none one. I arrived a Tel Aviv airport, the ques are long. finally I get there. then Im Told to step aside to wait for someone. shit is my first reaction are they going to allow me in. next Im called to theIsraeli minister for interior office. about half a hour later everything is ok.

I arrive where Im staying it is 6.30 a.m Tuesday morning East Jerusalemn. this is where alot of Palestinians are living. Im staying at the Palm Hostel. with Hisham, manager. also Mahommad.

right across is the Via Delorosa this is the christian place of worship. I notice qute alot of Palestinians are working. I also notice alot of people who are Jews, walking around with bowler hats on their heads and these weird locks of hair. there is one of superiority. feelings of contempt inside of me towards them starts to come up, with their attitude. it is hard to holdyour attitude towards them. I managed very well. which I controlled myself.
I get to meet Palestinians who are welcoming and hospitable. the poverty which Palestinians experience is reality.
