Diary from Palestine 6 - second-class citizens

A school built with tires, straw and mud (from the NGO Terra Wind), for the children of the Bedouin villages in the area of the Khan al Ahmor (at the beginning of the Jordan Valley came from Jerusalem). We are also here in zone "C" of the Occupied Territories, and under the absolute control of police and military of Israel and with the invasive settlements on the outskirts.

There are shots, snapshots from Palestine that there is, images are impossible to erase from memory. Yesterday, in Israel, the Mossawa Center in Haifa, Minem Maroof said (to the group of my fellow travelers for Peace Luisa Morgantini) life of Palestinian citizens of Israel the Jewish state: "Unfortunately for other Palestinians we are not enough for Israel and we are second-class citizens, but our position may instead be important and decisive by the parties.

" They have a small representation in the Knesset, a zero relationship with Labour as too self-referential, and hope to build a coalition of minorities in the upcoming elections. Just one of the problems of a more comfortable life some of the Palestinian Territories, but from obstacle course, often very high: "For example we are denied the chance to marry or the Palestinian territories, because the entry here in Israel they would be prohibited.

" Every so often in these parts is really difficult to be human.
