Occupation Magazine was started in 2004 by Israeli activists who wanted to provide an ongoing source of information about the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as well as efforts to end it. Among the editors are Gush-Shalom leaders Adam Keller and Beate Zilversmidt who I've stood with many a time at a demonstration. Good people!

The front page is featuring a report from the Christian Peacemaker Team (CPT) on daily life in the West Bank. These kinds of reports feel boring to me - I've been there, I know it already. But for folks just learning about the reality on the ground, the reports provide a dimension that the newsmedia find very hard to cover: daily life for regular people.

What are your sources of trusted information about daily life in the Occupied Territories?
