my motives
my motives
·
to learn more of the situation - & that
happened;
·
to show support to the Palestinians - & that
happened
·
to keep a promise I made to myself. When I was
10/11/12, I used to watch the telly. I saw a lot of the crap that was going on
in Alabama & Mississipi. I said to myself that, if I was an adult, I’d have
marched with Dr King. That never happened, of course, & nor did I go to South Africa,
but, with this trip, I had the time, money & opportunity to stick 2 fingers
up to apartheid.
·
to give em summat: Palestinian songs sung by my
choir Raised Voices; I’m in the process of sending these to a bunch of groups
in the West Bank
·
to have an adventure. (I was never in physical
danger, but the suburb that I stayed in was ritually tear-gassed on Friday
afternoon while my group was out. The flat I stayed in had empty tear gas
canisters in a kitchen drawer. And all about me were tales of tear gas &
state murder.)
