If Rasem could smuggle a new television through the tunnels why didn’t he smuggle medicine and other more vital aid?

If fifteen were killed by an Israeli bomb why did no media including al Jazeera report it?

If 10 Gazans were killed by Egyptian forces why did the media report 8 wounded and no dead except, of course, for the Egyptian soldier.

Why was the 18 year old man smiling? At least I know the answer for that. He had found a patsy.

Thanks Zach. There’s more coming on Gaza. I feel like there is so much to say, despite only being in there for a day or so.

Look into the next Viva Palestina convoys. There will be one from Malaysia and South Africa at some point.

Sounds like a really raw trip, A.

I hope we all get the chance to go back someday. Closest I’ve been so far is Bethlehem but I’d really like to do something similar to what you did, if I wasn’t working on the other side of the river I totally would have done it.

Glad that you wrote it all down!
