We have several stories: a movie theater opens in Jenin; the UN organizes the largest kite flying event in Gaza; Hamas organizes a 450 couple wedding; Shir Hever, an economist, talks more about the BDS campaign in three videos; and UK & US rappers go to a demo in Bil'in.
Marcus Vetter certainly speaks English better than I can speak German. Doesn't Bianca Jagger look good? Now, residents in Jenin will have a place to take their dates to and make out.
Next, Gaza school kids take part in an attempt to fly thousands of kites at once in Gaza in another program organized by the UH Relief Agency. This follows the mass basket ball dribbling that took place earlier in the week.
Hamas, the ruling party in Gaza, also has organized mass events. In this case, a wedding for 450 couples.
The following videos are a continuation of a discussion by Shir Hever of the BDS (Boycot,Divestment,Sanctions) movement & the history surrounding it. The next video talks about the Arab boycott against Israel during the 60s & 70s.
The next video talks about the boycott against Israel compared to the boycott against South Africa.
His final talk discusses whether a boycott against Israel will hurt the Palestinians and Arab Israelis. Shir Hever concludes BDS will effect the Israeli elite first, & will be very effective due to Israel's export economy.
Next is the July 30 demo in Bil'in.
What is interesting about the demo is that there were rappers attending.
Googling this event, it looks like the rappers were both the UK Lowkey & the US Lowkey..
