Alison Ramer’s arts advocacy project, “Image and Identity,” asks Palestinian youth to articulate such images.

| At the Jordan Bridges border crossings, Israeli authorities prevented the entry of more than a hundred international activists | | Welcome to Palestine/Gush Shalom - "They did not even let us get off the bus," said Olivia Zemor of Paris, one of the organizers of the visit. "They collected our passports and a few minutes later returned them with each and every passport stamped `Entry denied`. The soldiers refused to give any explanation, they just said - that`s it, your entry is denied, go back to Jordan." Zemour noted that last year, when she and her fellows tried to reach the Palestinian Territories through Ben Gurion Airport, they were told, "Why don`t you come through the Jordan bridges?". "So we did try to get through the Jordan bridges, and now we got a definite answer from the government of Israel."

Haaretz
"The U.S. government’s position is not new to the Corries, but their attorneys said that hearing it only a few days before the verdict was “important and encouraging,” because it signals to the Corrie family that the U.S. government will continue to demand a full accounting from Israel about their daughter’s killing, regardless of how Judge Oded Gershon rules.

Being "pro-Israel" does not mean blindly supporting anything that Israel does.The next step should be involvement in groups on campus that promote unbiased discussion and that call upon Brown to divest from companies that profit from the Israeli occupation of the Palestinians — such as Brown Students for Justice in Palestine." ca
