Faces of Palestine
Below are a myriad of faces from Palestine – you won’t have to look closely to deduce that these are human beings, just like us, despite what the media and Israeli hasbara [Hebrew for propaganda] would have you believe. They are not terrorists, any more than you and I are – though its good to remember that each of us, all of us, carry the capacity for good and for evil – the choices we make determine our actions – and choices are not always as black and white as we would want them to be. I hope you enjoy these beautiful faces (tho a couple portraythe terror of mothers having to travel through an Israeli checkpoint to get their very ill children to treatment) as much as I have enjoyed taking these pictures and reviewing them again and again with a huge smile on my face as I recall how these people have touched my life in such a dramatic way.

Keren,
Beautiful, expressive pictures. The faces say so much — perseverance, sorrow, determination, and the joy that comes from living within community, even under an unbearable situation.
Thanks for sharing,
Rhonda
