Her focus is the Israel-Palestine conflict, which has been the most misreported and under-reported of all over its many tragic years. She has visited Gaza and the West Bank extensively, authored many articles and essays, and speaks widely nationally and internationally. She will be coming to Alaska Sept. 30 – October 10 in a speaking tour hosted by Alaskans for Palestine.
