Journalist, poet, novelist and activist John Ross reports on his work in
the occupied Palestinian territories, where he took part in solidarity
actions with Palestinian farmers in the shadow of the Expansionist
Separation Wall and Zionist settlements built on expropriated Palestinian
land. During part of his stay he was hospitalized from injuries from an
attack by Israeli settlers as he was harvesting olives with farmers in the
village of Yanoun.
Ross is one of the leading writers on the Zapatista resistance in Chiapas
and on Mexican politics. In February, 2003, he was one of several hundred
volunteers who went to Baghdad to be in solidarity with the Iraqi people.
His volumes of fiction, nonfiction and poetry are published in English and
Spanish, and he reports regularly to the English and Spanish language
press.
