Salaam: August 2008

http://sarahscruggs.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. So, I’ve been avoiding writing one final blog entry about this summer…not sure why, but the process of putting thoughts and experiences down seemed so exhausting when I first returned two weeks ago. Now, it feels like it’s going to be a relief, like I need to get something out or I will explode! I was one of the last people to arrive at the final agreed-upon march route, and as I reached the crest of the hill overlooking the marchers I saw Amira walking slowly towards me. Palest...

Salaam: CPTer faces possible deportation

http://sarahscruggs.blogspot.com/2008/08/cpter-faces-possible-deportation.html

Sunday, August 3, 2008. CPTer faces possible deportation. I was at this action yesterday and will write more about it later and include photos. It was a really big success for Palestinians in the area. As far as the CPTer mentioned below, Kristin was released at 2am and her legal status is still unknown. They were trying to charge with assaulting a soldier, which is completely false and we have video footage of the event to prove it. AT-TUWANI: CPTer faces possible deportation.

International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC) reports. Israel is planning to offer dismantling 26 illegal settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank in exchange for American approval that Israel keeps all of its settlements and expands the existing settlement blocs though all settlements are illegal under the international law. Note: Accordin...

Nonviolent resistance to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Monday, September 22, 2008. What does a nonviolent resister look like in At-Tuwani? Nonviolent resisters in the Palestinian villages of At-Tuwani come in all sizes, ages, and genders. One happens to be a little girl.

For those of you who may read my friend and teammate Joy's. I'm not hopeful tha...

Salaam: June 2007

http://sarahscruggs.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 26, 2007. Tea as a Way of Life. It has taken me a little longer than I thought to be in a place where I had Internet access. The last eight days have been full of meeting old friends again and acquainting. Myself with new people. In both cases, these occasions. Burner and serve you up a few glasses. It's as expected as a handshake would be in the States, and in many ways it's become a comfort drink for me. A few days ago I was walking around taking photos of the Palestinian village of Susiya.

only & audaciously here: March 2007

http://everpresente.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Only and audaciously here. Friday, March 09, 2007. Clemintina has orange hair. When the obvious is humorous. And when its not. They still call the wild pigs wild pigs. Even though they live inside sloping barbed wire. That they did not erect. In palestine we live inside barbed wire. Barbed wire that snags my clothes differently than the gray cats’ claws. Compared to those wild pigs. The cats' hair is contained. I cringe at the thought of the wild pigs hair. And dust a cat hair off my snagged pajama pants.
