WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A BLISSFUL DAY AT THE BEACH WOULD BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL. PALESTINIAN WOMEN AND GIRLS FROM THE WEST BANK AT A BEACH IN TEL AVIV WHO WERE SNUCK INTO THE COUNTRY BY A GROUP OF ISREALI WOMEN FOR A DAYLONG EXCURSION AT THE THE BEACH, SHOPPING AND DINNER. MOST OF THESE WOMEN HAD NEVER BEEN TO A BEACH OR SEEN THE SEA BEFORE LET ALONG HAD THE PRIVILEDGE OF SHOPPING. THESE COURAGEOUS WOMEN AND GIRLS WERE AT FIRST SKITTISH WHICH QUICKLY TURNED TO JOY AS THEY ENTERED THE SEA LETTING WAVES KNOCK THEM OVER.
THESE PALESTINIANS ARE FROM THE SOURTHERN PART OF THE WEST BANK WHICH IS LANDLOCKED AND ISREAL DOES NOT ALLOW THEM IN. IF CAUGHT THEY ALONG WITH THE ISREALI WOMEN WHO TOOK THEM TO THE BEACH COULD FACE CRIMINAL PERSECUTION.
THIS GROUP OF WOMEN REFUSE TO GIVE UP RISKING ALL FOR AN ILLICIT TRIP THAT HAS BLOSSOMED AND IS CONSIDERED AN ACT OF CIVIL DISORBEDIANCE. CRAVING FOR A DAY TO GET AWAY PROMPTED SOME ISTRAELI WOMEN TO START A GROUP THEY CALL WE WILL NOT OBEY. ISREAL'S MILITARY BEGAN LIMITING PALESTINIAN MOVEMENT INTO ISREAL TWO DECADES AGO TO PREVENT TERRORISM AT A TIME OF VIOLENT UPRISING.
THESE PALESTINIAN WOMEN FEEL INSTANT RELIEF AT LEAVING THE VIOLENT ATMOSPHERES OF THIER COUNTRIES EVEN IF JUST FOR A DAY OF FUN AND FRIENDS. WHAT IS ALSO WONDERFUL IS THAT MANY OF THESE WOMEN PREVIAL TOGETHER DESPITE SPEAKING DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
