Explosions, Interview

Just a quick post today.

The nightly gunshots here and there were replaced last night by a series of pretty major explosions, nowhere near us, but still quite audible. Maybe 2 or 3 in the morning. Can't find any news of what happened on the internet, but we saw a giant crowd of Palestinians this afternoon carrying a casket through town.

One of the other volunteers who interviewed Bassam Shaka with us the other day managed to transcribe the best parts of the interview from the video he took. It's already published on a couple internet media sources, the Palestine Chronicle and the International Middle East Media Center, if you're curious as to what Bassam had to say:
