Phil calls 03/2/09:
So he's low on cash, somewhere in North West Israel, near the sea...hopping between small backwater towns, eating just one falafel a day...glamourous...
He tells me it's all very pretty out here...but utterly understandable why most Israelis aren't against the war - they're simply so far removed from it...The newspapers don't say anything, nor does the TV...It's like in England during the 80's...places like Northumberia, Devon, Suffolk...they were so far removed from any violence from the IRA...no bombs, nothing...
It's a case of ignorance, leading to apathy...there are billboards all over the countryside showing prosepective government ministers as forward thinking visionaries - the new moses, promoting a strong Israel...no mention of the territories at all...
Later that day after the meeting with the Amnesty London heads, I get a text off phil:
"All good now! Lovely French couple cooked me dinner and now i'm chilling with a rather nice swiss girl!"
eyes on the prize mate...
Anywho, today i'm dropping off fliers with M at Queen Mary's Uni, with Lawyer for his distribution company and at the ExCel House where Scott Cooke and Khamsa are playing an anti-arms trade music protest!
Fun times!!0
