i don’t often get letters thanking me for my comments!! >; )
but on to MUCH more important things_
according to the World Food Program “The tunnels that provide Gaza with food, fuel, medicine and other consumer goods may have become even more crucial as an economic lifeline”
i’ve seen fotos of sheep being moved through those tunnels _ and once i’ve got the hang of this new blog_ you’ll see them too_ believe me! until then i plan to highlight some of the ways that the good people who read this kind of thing can help_
the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign http://www.palestinecampaign.org/
are holding a number of events in the next few weeks_ some political _ some charitable
Gaza 100 _ is something everyone in London can do _ just run 100metres in the biggest relay race ever _ and get yourself into the Guiness Book of Records to boot! ; )
Saturday 23 May and Sunday 24 May 2009 – from 12 noon to 12 noon, Mile End Stadium, London _ all proceeds to go Save The Children’s Gaza Fund _ be good to see you there

Israel harasses peace activists
‘On April 26, 2009, a number of Israeli peace activists had their computers confiscated, were called for interrogations, and were only released upon signing agreements not to contact their political friends for 30 days. We are asking you to contact the Israeli Attorney General to demand an immediate stop to this harassment.’

it would be good if you_ dear reader_ could do this last thing_ because in today’s corporate world activism is the most plausible way to keep democracy alive _ and NO government should use its powers to prevent the public’s peaceful response _ so please help here and thanks ; )
that’s all for now_ just checking out the ‘new blog’ and making sure the human voice is still heard!
as for the letter from ‘number 10′ (doesn’t that mean ‘garbage’ in the far east?!!) _ i gave it to my puppy_ he’ll know what to do with it!!
the name is psy_warrior for a reason _ you’ll be hearing from me soon _ take care ; )
Excellent blog from psy_warrior.
Here’s news about a new project which contains loads of useful info. The International Committee to End the Israeli Occupation is proud to present its recent project: The Israeli Occupation Archive (IOA)
The focal point of the project is a website that includes news and commentary on the Israeli Occupation, much of it not readily found in English.
