Nira- on lunchbreak in the Knesset
Posted on | November 25, 2008 | No Comments
Funny. A new rutine started for me, and that is looking for peacexpeace e-mail correspondance first thing in the morning. This morning it was also there, reminding me once again that a real continuation to what we did in Washington is happening. Things straightened with Jumana, Patt looking forward to going on with Nabil Abuznaid (head of PLO mission in Washington) suggestion of a flag march of Isrealies and Palestinians, expressing their wish for peace (I’m already contemplating whom I should approach with this idea. I have to talk to Amira Dotan, member of Knesset who’s in the book, with whom I worked before). And of course an e-mail from dear Louise who added me as her friend on facebook and was happy to see that the photo she took of me and Reem at Capitol Hill, is alredy my profile picture and finally, an e-mail from Rachelle saying she might be coming to our little corner of the world for Christmas. It is a bit of a frustrating era, though. Election time. So no one is actually in the Knesset. Everyone is so concerned with being elected in her/his own party in a place that will make it realistic for them to get in. It is really hard to think of even trying to approach any of them now with peace issues. But that’s ok. Gives me more time to figure out things to myself.
