Much more needs to be done, in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem. As I know from my own experience, people of all ages and backgrounds living under the occupation there relish exposure to the world of the literary, the film, the arts. I particularly liked the quote from Edward Said, i.e. "the power of culture over the culture of power". But it should be remembered, too, that such efforts as PalFest help to empower a people who have been left powerless for decades.<br /><br /><br />Thanks Suzannah, both for the beautiful narrative, AND the pictures!<br /><br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
