Live from Palestine
International and Palestinian Direct Action Against the Israeli Occupation

This text tells two stories that have become intertwined in the Middle East - the story of Palestinians who, tired of waiting for UN peacekeepers, have called upon the world's activists for protection, and of the people who are putting their lives on the line answering that call.

While Bush's "war on terrorism" is hampered by the unresolved Palestinian quest for statehood, almost 100,000 activists converged upon Washington in April, 2002 to demonstrate against militarism and for global economic justice, with a particular focus on Palestine. In the only book capturing the new international movement to end the Occupation, these harrowing and poignant stories create a portrait of diverse people making unprecedented efforts for peace.
