Anna is a peace activist with International Womens Peace Service on the West Bank, having worked essentially as a witness, reporting what she sees. She does an exceptionally good job at making it real and down to earth. She has a point of view, she is against the occupation of Palestine, but she avoids getting into anything inflammatory or polarized, simply reporting the situation as shes observed it. A little side note, she mentions, and thats my impression too, that Israelis tend to have a much higher tolerance for debate and disagreement and more nuances of views than what you generally find for example in the U.S. And just like the majority of Palestinians are not Hamas terrorists, but regular folks trying to make ends meet and take care of their families, theres no reason to assume that most Israelis automatically support their governments policies of expanded settlements and compartmentalization of Palestinians.
