Pointing fingers is our national pass time. Just when are we going to find the ‘WE’ in the valley? For normalcy to dawn on these people’s lives, it’s imperative we challenge our own ignorance first. For getting things back to the negotiation table, we need to purge our romanticization, hypocrisy, double standards and most importantly, the stereotyping of the valley and its people.

Taking a leaf from the Bush-Blair weapons of mass destruction hoax, Israel is going all out to divert anti-Israel opinion on its monumental humanitarian disaster to a fictitious crime  allegedly perpetrated by the very victims of said humanitarian  disaster- Israel’s wars on Gaza -by concocting an elaborate false crime of embezzlement and terrorism by Mohammed el-Halabi, the dedicated  zonal manager for World Vision in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza.
