Pippa Bartolotti: July 7th 2011 - journey to Tel Aviv
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-7th-2011-journey-to-tel-aviv.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. July 7th 2011 - journey to Tel Aviv. Netanyahu had whipped up a media storm calling us hooligans and provocateurs. The man is mad of course. The media went berserk labelling us the 'flightilla'. Disinformation piled onto disinformation and before long we were rabid demonstrators representing an existential threat to Israel itself. Truth gets a bad press these days. Fortunately our local rag - the SW Argus. Was inclined to print our own story. Labels: To Tel Aviv. So you have found me.

Pippa Bartolotti: 12th July - and yes, still in prison
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011/07/12th-july-and-yes-still-in-prison.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. 12th July - and yes, still in prison. We are led in the usual ponderous way through sets of clanking locked gates to see the consul. Suprise suprise, the Ambassador himself is here. I extend my hand and greet him as 'Ambassador', Gary introduces him as Matthew. I have experience of the formality usually required when meeting Ambassadors and was confused. Why just Matthew? Our lawyer informed me that our position was that we were in transit, we had never set foot in Israel. He sa...

Pippa Bartolotti: 10th July - and still in prison
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011/07/10th-july-and-still-in-prison.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. 10th July - and still in prison. Breakfast for 6 was 2 yoghurt pots and 6 green peppers. We have some stale bread from 2 days ago and some jam. Water is drunk luke warm from the tap. Some of us have been allowed some exercise outside and some have seen the lawyer, a volunteer Palestinian who asks for no money. The prison guards bark at him most roughly, but he has a tolerant attitude. Not much came out of the meeting except he did say we must sign nothing. So you have found me.

Pippa Bartolotti: July 8th - Welcome to Israel
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-8th-welcome-to-israel.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. July 8th - Welcome to Israel. I was on my own as the doors closed. It felt like a cartoon story. Over my head there could have been a speech ballon saying "ERK! Labels: Welcome to Israel. This comment has been removed by the author. 20 July 2011 at 07:53. Here we go again, typical Ziofascist twisting your words. So Hagai, what makes you think that Pippa had intended to act violently? What evidence do you have for that? What is violent about going to visit Palestinians? Http:/ www...

Pippa Bartolotti: July 9th - Givon Jail
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-9th-givon-jail.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. July 9th - Givon Jail. My tour of Israel starts at Ben Gurion Airport and ends at Givon jail. The introduction to my 'hotel' is simply the razor wire glimpsed throught the tiny wire mesh window of the tin can which until now has been my temporary prison. There is nothing for it but to decorate the cell. Scarves, and the one flag I brought - the Peace flag. It is 2.00 am. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Taken by Patrick in Cape Town. So you have found me. View my complete profile.

Pippa Bartolotti: July 2011
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. 13th July - and yes, still in prison. Thoughts, I am troubled with thoughts. The British Consul said that Israel was a Sovereign State, and as such could remove any people from its land at any time. Yet Israel has no fixed borders, so how can it be a sovereign state? Indeed the border at Bi'lin was moved a mere two weeks ago. I asked what the British Government's position was on this, there came no answer. I will ask again. We could be of no help to the Palestinians where we were.

Pippa Bartolotti: 11th July - and still in prison
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2011/07/11th-july-and-still-in-prison.html
Sunday, 17 July 2011. 11th July - and still in prison. I pull on an Egyptian kaftan and speak to the manager as she passes our cell. She will not take the letter. Suddenly Anne-Marie from Belgium is asked to get her stuff and she is going - probably because there are demonstrations on the streets of Brussels asking for her release. 3 others from Geneva go with her. Does Israel run the British Embassy? The South Wales Argus has valiantly stuck to the story. Leader of the Green Party. So you have found me.

Pippa Bartolotti: April 2008
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 April 2008. I think we are on the slowest connection in the universe, so no chance of a picture today. Yes, I turned up two hours before the flight at Gatwick and bought a ticket at a reduced rate (not reduced enough for my liking, but you can't have it all). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Taken by Patrick in Cape Town. So you have found me. View my complete profile. Link to my facebook page. Http:/ www.facebook.com/profile.php? Http:/ www.coexister.blogspot.com. A link to my website.

Pippa Bartolotti: September 2010
http://pippabartolotti.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 23 September 2010. A storybook mistaken for History. We have just crossed into Croatian mobile space. Odd that in a large ship, bound for Greece, the one thing which tells us whose waters we inhabit is the ubiquitous mobile phone. I think of those who died on the Mavi Marmara. Did their mobile phones tell them whose mobile phone space they were in shortly before they were shot? Labels: A storybook mistaken for history. Labels: Girls to Gaza. It is not always possible to put travel blogs in perf...
