While this is a not uncommon occurrence, Maguire’s courageous presence and participation has helped draw greater attention to the cause of justice against the violent occupation and the wall.
Ms Maguire had been invited to open an international conference in the village of Bil’lin which closed with a press conference at which many international journalists were present.
Monte Asbury has posted a very moving video of Maguire voicing her solidarity with the Palestinian people even as she awaited the ambulance to treat her, saying, “I’m very proud to be here … This is where we, the peace movement, have to be.” [hat tip: peoplesgeography]
