My Name is Rachel Corrie

last day in Montreal

It is our closing matinee show today- this past two weeks have flown right by…like vrrrrooooom. It has been an amazing experience so far and i look forward to working on the show in Vancouver.

This morning i read an article called “Politicizing Gaza’s misery” by Ramzy Baroud. Here is an excerpt:

“The Strip is under a harsh and unprecedented siege, with people dying as a result of the lack of medical aid. Israel has cut diesel supplies to 60,000 litres, when 350,000 litres are required daily. How can an already underdeveloped economy run on such a meagre amount of energy, let alone hospitals and schools? Electricity is also being drastically cut, as per the recommendation of Israel’s High Court, and unemployment is at the highest level it has ever been (past the 75 per cent mark). One and a half million inhabitants are literary trapped in a 365-square kilometre prison without any breathing room whatsoever and little food, little energy, and are told, more or less, that they deserve their fate.”
