Alice Walker's visit to Gaza is an important gesture as to some extent she represents the conscience of the African-American people. The dominance of political space in the US by the zionists is under the most severe assault since the creation of the settler state in Palestine - and the Israeli state still doesn't get it: they are undermining their base of support around the world by their criminal and inhuman actions.

Pulitzer-prize winning author Alice Walker, who wrote "The Color Purple," is traveling to Gaza along with other female activists to highlight the devastation of the Israeli offensive on Gaza's residents.
"I feel that what is happening in the Middle East is very important because the situation is so volatile," said Walker, speaking by telephone Saturday from the Rafah border crossing as her group waited to travel into Gaza. "I love people, and I love children and I feel that the Palestinian child is just as precious as the African-American child, as the Jewish child."
