Well with an extremely heavy heart and tears in my eyes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well with an extremely heavy heart and tears in my eyes and I am not joking I arrived back in Palestine, Jerusalem.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is heartbreaking to think all my friends are just less than half an hour away and they cannot come to me and I cannot go to them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I truly know what it feels like to be a Palestinian who cannot visit their family because of checkpoints .
\nI have been meeting with old friends in Jerusalem and tomorrow I shall speak with somebody important to me as to what to do.
\nAM I GOING TO THE WEST BANK?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well what do you think, of course I am.
\nI am making sure though and please tell my friend Mary that I have all my goods in order for the stall first as she does not have internet.
\nAfter that well if I am caught I am caught.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As long as I do everything for the stall first that is what matters.
\nWell only in Jerusalem a few hours and was at my first demonstration at Damascus Gate today.\u00a0 As people will know the Palestinians are demonstrating everywhere today re Gaza and my intention was to be in Nablus today but sadly not.
\nSo they think they have denied me but first demonstration on my first day.\u00a0 More to follow Inshalla
\nI swear on my mother’s life he told me the Palestinians should all be wiped out.\u00a0 There was no place for them in Israel.\u00a0\u00a0 He then went to book me a flight home, I told him I had no money and he quoted some airlines regulations that apparently if you go to a country and they do not want you they have to take you home.\u00a0 Then they will get the money from me back home. \u00a0He said he would book it there and then and then he shoved a paper towards my hand and said ‘I SHALL GIVE YOU ONE CHANCE TO STAY IN ISRAEL.\u00a0 BUT YOU ARE BARRED FROM THE WEST BANK COMPLETELY.\u00a0\u00a0 He told me if I went within a miles radius of a checkpoint they would immediately arrest me and deport me.
\nMy first reaction was to tell him to stuff something where the sun does not shine and I did tell him to keep it and book me a flight.\u00a0 I knew there was no way he was letting me in to Palestine.\u00a0 Then I remembered because of our Campaign and we need goods to sell to make money to finance our projects I had to get in.
\nI had to ask him to let me stay in Israel, I am SO, SO, SO, SORRY everybody I feel that the disgusting Minster of Interior and what they do has won. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Again as I said I need Palestinian goods to keep the Campaign going.
\nHe stamped my passport as high security risk and told me again I would be arrested and deported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
