Notes: At the end of May 2002, the mass media seems to believe that the crisis in the occupied territories is over. Reporter and International Solidarity Movement (ISM - http://www.palsolidarity.org) activist Kristen Schurr provided a vital link to actions on the ground in the Occupied Territories during the three month long military campaign waged by the Israeli Defense Forces. This interview covers Kristen's experience working with the ISM, but begins with her live report to Democracy Now on May 2 (the first 1:34), when she and about a dozen other ISM activists ran into the Church of the Nativity carrying food and medical supplies. What is life like now that Operation Defensive Shield is over? Andrew Kennis, an American Jewish journalist has traveled throughout the Occupied Territories over the last two weeks reporting for Indymedia (http://www.indymedia.org), he talked with Off the Hour about his travels.
