This woman is the true definition of a 'freedom fighter'
Would you believe me if I told you that this woman with the gray hair has spent almost her whole life fighting for the rights of those who can't? Well, she has! My friend Miriam online who spends a great deal of time in Israel just got back from there and sent me a bunch of pictures of her trip. (She noted to me that she has been in the 'fetal position' for a few weeks now because of the violence that has erupted over there) Here's what she said about Hava Keller...the extraordinary woman in the picture:
"She escaped the Nazis when she was 9, joined an armed, underground Jewish militia when a teen, fought in Israel's War of Independence, and have been fighting
for a Palestinian State in the West Bank, and Gaza, ever since.
Three years ago, she was shot in the arm and leg, by the IDF, with 'concussion' grenades."
Pretty incredible, huh? More on her life is linked above in the title of this thread.
