"A Palestinian farmer looks toward the horizon of a beautiful landscape
in the Jordan Valley. His farm and house were demolished twice by the
Israeli authorities, as was the rest of his village. He decided to stay,
to fight against the continuing attempts to uproot him. He fights using
his very existence as a tool. This is the story of Burhan Basharat from
Khirbet Makhoul in the Jordan Valley. This is also the story of many
others."
I lifted this image and caption from
this collection here at
+972, an online web magazine focusing on the reality of Israeli-Palestinian interactions in the occupied territories. And then, this morning, I discovered
this report at
The Guardian on Breaking Silence - an initiative undertaken by former IDF members to describe those interactions in words. A powerful convergence.
