The majority of stories that appear in the news are negative. That doesn’t just go for stories about the developing world. Of course we can all sit around moaning about this, or we can get out there and start telling our own stories, from a deeper perspective.
Here’s a good example of something a bit different to the stories that we’re used to seeing about Palestine. It’s an audio slideshow that I came across on the BBC website:
Across the West Bank on public holidays, thousands of Palestinian scouts march through the streets twirling batons, banging drums and playing bagpipes.
The scouts and marching bands are a legacy of the British mandate from 1920 to 1948, but it is the Scottish cultural connection that now resonates with some Palestinians, who see historical parallels with their own struggle against Israeli occupation.
