See Me... Feel Me...

Touch Me... Heal Steal Me... *

Right behind you, I see the Millions...
On you, I see the Glories...
Right behind you, I climb the Mountains...
From you, I get my Stories...
Happy Labor day morning, folks!
Hope you are up early,
enjoying your day too.
(September!)

No special Labor day post here -- make it your own, but I do have soundtrack suggestions...

  And the poor people living near Bethlehem, Palestine who lay claim to owning these woody lots. What will 45 days bring?
JERUSALEM — Israel laid claim on Sunday to nearly 1,000 acres of West Bank land in a Jewish settlement bloc near Bethlehem — a step that could herald significant Israeli construction in the area — defying Palestinian demands for a halt in settlement expansion.
...
The mayor of the nearby Palestinian town of Surif, Ahmad Lafi, said the land belonged to Palestinian families.

He told the official Palestinian news agency Wafa that Israeli Army forces and personnel posted orders early Sunday announcing the seizure of land that was planted with olive and forest trees in Surif and the nearby villages of Al-Jaba’a and Wadi Fukin.  Interested parties have 45 days in which to register objections.
...
Israeli officials said the political directive to expedite a survey of the status of the land came after three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and killed in June while hitchhiking in that area. ... The timing of the land appropriation suggested that it was meant as a kind of compensation for the settlers and punishment for the Palestinians.

Palestinians aspire to form a state in the lands that Israel conquered in 1967.
