Sahar‘s friend Omar was arrested by the Israelis, he's twenty year-old, had just found out he won a scholarship and was glad he could finally get out of this place. After what happened, he's probably not going anywhere now.

I keep changing faces and I'm really ticked off, my friend Ohoud said she saw a ring hovering in the sky but I don't believe her! the other day she complained about buses being made for shorties…
Ohoud has a very nice voice, it is always good to be around her and listen to her passionately singing for her people and the land, or playing some of her favortie tunes.

The Tower Keeper showed some pictures of “Israel” to his students in Gaza, and showed some pictures of Gaza to Israelis, both couldn't believe they are looking at the area on the other side of fence. After three months in Palestine, Bob has said good bye to his friends, he's back home now.

About the rest of us, well, our production of olives in Tubas has rotten because the only checkpoint we were allowed to sell olives to the Israeli traders at,has been closed. By the way, our olive oil was mentioned as an ethical xmas present by The Times.

Oh, and before I forget, PHALASTEEN team wishes you a merry christmas!
