When I read Gerri Haynes’ blogs, I feel deeply grateful for the courage and persistence she and Laura Hart show in visiting Gaza. The evidence they gather — and the human stories they recount — are a window into a world we need to know. Especially as American citizens, who have such an involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Gerri just sent this message from Gaza: “Outside my window here in Gaza City, the night has erupted with joy over the announcement that the UN has overwhelmingly voted to change the status of Palestine to the upgraded status of “non-member observer state,” from a “non-member observer entity.” While the US and Israel objected to this change, the inclusion of Palestine as a state is significant. One hundred thirty eight nations voted to approve this change. The celebration among the people of Gaza continues!”

And currently 60 Minutes is under attack for airing this report on the effects of the Israeli occupation on Palestinians. They’re being flooded with furious emails from major Jewish and right-wing Christian groups. You can help push back and defend honest journalism.

Gerri, Steve and all:
Thanks again for all the connections and the writing about it, Gerri. Steve G., I know you knocked them upside their heads(and hearts) with your toxics lecture. Bravo for your Arabic-translated poster on the details and history of Toxics-the stuff our societies use up and then dump in other places.

Bob H, always great pictures. Gerri, flawless political reporting with heart.

I’m so proud of you guys. Keep on Kicken’.

See you all home soon,

Comment on Great 60 Minutes segment on Christians in Israel and Palestine by Bert Sacks

This is a remarkable segment of 60 Minutes. Be sure to watch the very end, the interview with the Israeli Ambassador (I think that’s what his title is) who was complaining about the piece BEFORE it was aired!

Comment on Women of Gaza share their stories, by Gerri Haynes by Bert Sacks

I share Tom’s thoughts: that your postings, especially the heart-wrenching stories of the women in Gaza you worked with — and also the details you provide about water allocation and scarcity — are useful and very moving.

I too look forward to seeing you and hearing more on your return. Safe travels. With love, Bert
