Darlene and Donna Wallach, Jewish social justice activists, lived in the Gaza Strip August to December, 2008. With other human rights activists, they had broken the Israeli complete blockade of Gaza on the two Free Gaza Boats, SS Liberty and SS Free Gaza. They remained 4 months living among the people and accompanying Palestinian fishermen and farmers in perilous circumstances as they were harassed and shot at by Israeli military while in Gaza waters and on Gaza land. They witnessed Israeli occupation force soldiers constantly violating the 6 month June 2008 truce and collectively punishing the 1.5 million Palestinians living there. Hear them speak of the spirit, resilience, kindness and sense of humor of the Palestinian people.
