6-1-2009 about Gaza
January 6th, 2009, posted by: maartje nevejan
So here we are, in icy Amsterdam and we are stunned again, as we were a few years ago when the war in Iraq started, that now hundreds of people are killed and again the Media make us believe it is a cleaner war than it is. Journalists want to go in to Gaza, but it is impossible to go there. War censorship.
We feel that the Israeli side of this conflict is well covered, but the Palestinian side is not.

“The drunk journalist case”
We have a Hit Vid for the last 5 days. Must admit that I did not know what it was when I first read this word.
Anyway we are all over the Internet in at least 3 continents now. USA, Europe and Australia. Bloggers report us on what sites we are….just heard that we are now on the biggest news site in Switzerland…in German….
Numerous sites are “ cutting and pasting us, baby”. But we are proud of it.:)Must say that I did not sle...

In an hour I will be in the airport to go home again.....
It was the most exiting, moving and funny week in a Miami I began to love.
The last 2 hours I spend with Rochelle, the woman who made a lot possible this week. But most of all, she was the icing on the cake of this week. She brought tears in my eyes while telling about her rebel years and how Kennedy was their Obama at he time and how for he, as for all of us now, it feels that all the good can happen again.
How Obama ,...bookmark:

Miami, USA, 5/6 november
As Alex wrote so beautifully it was a great night. For the whole world….It was truly fantastic to get the emails from Kenya, Amsterdam and Beijing as meeting so many people from other countries
The symbolic meaning of Obama, man with so many roots in so many countries, religions and cultures, is beyond measurement.
I even filmed a girl from South Korea who hoped that since he connects the black and white he might also connect North and South Kore...bookmark:

Arriving in Miami, first time. The wind is with me, we arrive 1,5 hours early because of it. On he airport I only hear Spanish and see mostly coloured and black people. I feel immidiatly at home. I guess it is that Obama virus. You feel included because you are diffrent, like him. Or in this case: everyone looks diffrent, talks diffrent languages, so I am no diffrent than the rest.
In the taxi to the hotel I am struck b the skyline of Miami....I feel like I am in an episode of CSI. It is...bookmark:
