Last week - i quit my job, and though looking back it may not have been the most sensible option - it was one that had to be taken. I do take solice in the fact that every international that has ever worked there leaves in blaze of anger and frustration. So i am not alone.
I therefore have had a week to assess my life - and i am liking the results. Ok, so i am broke, i have no job, and currently no house, but im happy, i am actually happy. Ana beheb Falasteen kter.
Last weekend i went to the Golan Heights - Occupied Syrian Territory in the the North of Israel, it was so beautiful and relaxing, but of course it was tinged with the sense of foreboding. Similar to East Jerusalem, it is hard to see the Israeli give this part of the country back. I also went to Erez border to Gaza in the South of Israel, and though of course i coundn't get it - it was such a humbling experience to be so close to a region that is currently in such dire straits, one day i will be in that region, that i am sure with.
In 4 weeks time - im leaving this place, and though i only plan to leave for a few weeks - i really do not feel ready to go just yet, i look forward to seeing my family and friends - but my time here in Palestine is not completed yet - not by a long, long way.
