hey folks-
it's been a long time since i've been on the pc
listserv (basically i've been transitioning from home
in california to home in israel) and it's been good to
read recent posts by toby, larry s, larry l, john s,
and all the rest. it's really info of high quality.

Hello Akiva:

Sounds like you have a lovely living situation over there.
Its getting to be wintry here in NC with lots of rain - have thought of going
fishing
in the moats between my raised garden beds.

Are you participating in any Israeli-Palestinian permaculture projects or any
in
Palestine proper, restoring food production and terrain in places where it
may have been disrupted?
I have heard of a few of these online from time to time.

While you're at it stay safe, seems peaceful folks have plenty to worry about
these days. Read this:
BBC NEWS | England | Suffolk | Questions over UN worker's death
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/4529200.stm>
A British UN project manager, shot by an Israeli sniper, was unlawfully
killed a UK inquest has concluded.
At 6ft 1in, ex-soldier Iain Hook was an imposing figure and very much respected by his UN colleagues as someone who could get things done. Mr Hook, 54, from Felixstowe, Suffolk, was leading a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) project to rebuild the refugee camp in the West Bank town of Jenin. He had previously successfully managed a project to rebuild a vast hospital complex in Pristina, Kosovo. On 22 November, 2002, Mr Hook was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper who may have been as close as 30 metres from his target. - Car wheel tampered with - Mr Hook's former boss Dr Peter Hansen told the inquest that over the last four years 13 UNRWA workers had been shot in similar circumstances. Others have suggested Mr Hook himself was the target. The inquest heard that the first time Mr Hook's car was used after the shooting a wheel came off. It had clearly been tampered with but there was no clear evidence to say whether the wheel bolts had been loosened before or after the shooting.

This goes beyond all reason.
