News & opinions from a Palestinian-American
living & working in Ramallah/Al-Bireh, Palestine

Dear friends,

It was brought to my attention by several of you that the photos and links in my post last night regarding the Dalia Association did not appear in the message.  I apologize.

Kindly visit Dalia at: http://www.dalia.ps/   and, if possible, kindly make a donation at: http://www.dalia.ps/node/16  (U.S. contributions are tax deductible when made via Grassroots International Dalia Fund, our fiscal sponsor).

I use this opportunity to pass to you news coverage of a very powerful non-violent, and silent, march that took place a few days ago in West Jerusalem:

Lastly, today, Israeli President Peres launched a 3 day Conference in Jerusalem, called Facing Tomorrow.  Dignitaries from around the world are attending as an expression of their support while they celebrate 60 years of the founding of the state.  In reply…  

On May 15, Palestinians will launch 21,915 (365 days x 60 years) black balloons over the skies of Jerusalem.  We aim to turn the skies over Israel’s celebrations black to let people know that there is another side of the story, a side of heartache, suffering and dispossession. At the same time, each balloon will carry a letter from a Palestinian child expressing his/her hope for the future, to let the world know that we believe in and dream of justice. 

Onward,

Sam
