27 December 2012 | Palestina, Bethlehem
I'm back at Bethlehem, Palestine. IM BACK after three months!! I missed it SO MUCH! Now i can see my friends again who are allowed to go nowere cause they are Palestinian's without a permit. Celebrating Christmas again, Celebrating New Years Eve again, Planting trees again between walls, checkpoints, settlement and bypassroads..
People all over the world are speaking about human
rights. But were are these human rights? I can not find
them here. Are they lost? Burnt and buried? Demolished?
On the first day of Christmas (2012) we planted 200 Olive Trees in Bethlehem area near illigal Israeli Outposts and Illigal Israeli Settlements in the occupied Westbank.
Like lasts year planting (first christmas day 2011) it was a honour to help the farmers planting the olive trees so that the Israeli state will not conficate theire land. Hopefully the trees will not be destroyed by Settlers or the Israeli army...
Please visit the site of the JAI and the Olive tree campaign for more information and how to support/participate/donate/help.
KEEP HOPE ALIVE!

This year's planting was extra special for me; my dear dear dear brother came with me to Palestine for over two weeks, to see and learn about life under occupation, getting in contact with local people and to meet my dear friends.
Second Christmas day, another visit to the old city of Hebron.
On the picture a perfect example about life in Hebron.
A Jewish settler walking out of Suada Street. A 'ghost street' which is forbidden for Palestinian's to go in. They had to close all there stores.
While the Jewish settler is walking to his fancy car the Arab is walking towards the checkpoint (see photo).
