 in the press Review: A Personal Diary of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
The sympathies are pro-Palestinian, but as critical of the behaviour of the Palestinian Authority as of Israeli settlers, and offering in-depth critiques of various "official versions" of the conflict presented by the regional press. The latest entry, for instance, picks apart the convenient attribution of the recent killing of Hamas member Muhhyideen Al-Shareef to an internal feud within the group. A mix of interesting minutiae - the politics of car licence plates - and Parry's on-the-spot, and sometimes risky-sounding, reportage, the overall aim is to counteract the stream of "useless words and information" with some facts, and snapshots, from the ground. Links lead to the author's impressive social work and journalistic CV, and to a page devoted to his Bruce Cockburn-influenced songwriting. |
