Gaza Strip
I watched a DVD documentary called "Gaza Strip", a film by James Longley. There was no narration, just a camera rolling in the Gaza Strip, following the lives of some who live there, particularly young boys and women. It wasn't easy to watch. Nor is it easy to explain. I was saddened, distressed, angry, at what the Israelis are doing to these people - bulldozing their homes (or them if they get in the way), blocking off their roads, not letting them leave, firing gas canisters of poison into groups of children, shooting children in the head, leaving bombs for children to play with. These are the actions of descendants of holocaust victims. Apparently there is no compassion. Having stolen this land from the people who lived there, they are trying to drive them out, just as the Germans did to them. It disgusts me. I currently have no words to describe what I feel after watching this movie.
If you watch this and come away unmoved, you have no heart.
