Palmegrene til ‘wun dullar’
april 26, 2011
Da min bibelske viden desværre er godt g(l)emt og kan primært hentes frem i hukommelsen i form af motiverne for mine tegninger i Kristendomstimerne og teksterne til Jesus Christ Superstar-musical’en. Derfor ved jeg faktisk ikke, hvorfor Palmesøndag hedder Palmesøndag, og bliver lidt overrasket, da jeg på vej mod indgangen til den gamle bydel i Jerusalem ser folk kommer slæbende på palmegrene i alle størrelser – fra små visne kviste til store parasolagtige grene. Sammen med min nyerhvervede fotograf-ven følger vi strømmen af palmer og klatrer op ad de stejle gader, til vi når en lille kirke, hvor folk tilsyneladende samles. Fra en højtaler lyder sange om Jesus’ godhed fra en lille cirkel af meget blege (måske irske) […]

Korrespondent ‘in-the-making’ eller 14årig i virksomhedspraktik
april 22, 2011
Mit første møde med tåregas- og stenkastende israelske soldater var sandsynligvis barnemad sammenlignet med egentlige demonstrationer, men nok til at få mig til at melde mig syg og ligge i fosterstilling dagen efter. Så da min redaktør bad mig om at ta til en demonstration i forbindelse med en fredskonference i dag, kunne jeg mærke […]

Passing checkpoints at Passover
april 18, 2011
It being Passover Sunday yesterday made me think it would be interesting to go to Jerusalem. So I met with a friend in Ramallah at 11.15 and arrived at the Qalandia checkpoint maybe 10-15 minutes later. It was a quiet day and we were only about 20 people on the bus. But maybe because of […]
Ready. Aim. Inspire
april 18, 2011
I went to the TEDxRamallah this Saturday not knowing what to expect. And when I went home almost 12 hours later I barely knew what had hit me. One speaker after the other blew me away with messages of hope for a better future for Palestine. None of the messages were of hate or agression […]
