Note: these were taken during the dialogue and so are a bit fragmented and hard to follow. Just try your best to get an idea of what we discussed! :)
The government as a suffering body
as well.
Tunnels between Gaza and Egypt to
get the basic goods
No physical connection between the
West Bank and Gaza
No visitation
Go outside Gaza through neighboring
countries
Age restriction to leave the Gaza
strip
Fuel problems, electricity,
hardships in studying, can’t go to universities.
Light from fire, because there is
no other way to study
Youth groups protesting on the
borders
Block on the media. Only violence
and death are portrayed in the media, but not the peaceful resistance.
There’s a students who wasn’t able
to attend the WISE conference, which is unjust considering that they too have a
right to expand their knowledge just as other students can and are doing. The
blockade is taking away their opportunity of having different educational
experiences.
The students are trying to
contribute to the Palestinian cause by spreading awareness about the issues
they face in Gaza. “Talking to you as
form of breaking the blockade” it’s like a tool.
Initative:
An indirect connection between
Gaza students and Israeli students
Penn state- virtual majliss and
then Penn State university students have a dialogue with Israeli students.
Network of students
Keep in touch with my partner in
USA, under the blockade, and during the war the American students stopped
talking to the Israeli students as a form of protest.
Conversation making a difference
in their minds.
Posting instant photos and videos
of Gaza under war on Facebook, and people watch it. The students in Penn State
make protests on their campuses. Awareness campaigns.
Campaign.
International Refugees day
Education as the main purpose of
the united people
The difference between Hamas and
Fatah doesn’t create a personal divide amongst families. They are actually able
to believe in different political ideologies but act as one Palestinian unit.
The divide between the different political parties is just exaggerated in the
media. Her family consists of both Fatah supporters and Hamas supporters.
