Last week I was in the occupied territories of Palestine and parts of Israel with a delegation from Physicians for Social Responsibility, whose goal was to look into the healthcare conditions there and the effects on people's health of living under military occupation.
It was a heckuvah week and a great trip.
Here's a few pictures if you're interested
Dan here...Jer asked me to host his photos -- and that's what I've done!
