| Jane does Paleostine... |
| 2002-12-23 |
| Hollywood star Jane Fonda spent Saturday visiting the West Bank City of Ramallah, where she toured a rehabilitation center and met with a bereaved Palestinian family at a refugee camp, before returning to her home in the US. Her three-day visit to the region, aimed at promoting peace, came to an end in Ramallah, which she visited after having first to cross the infamous Qalandia roadblock set up by soldiers between Jerusalem and the West Bank city. Wonder if she did the Vagina Monologues for the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades? I'd have liked to have watched... Making her way through mud and clutching a bouquet of red roses given to her by the Jerusalem Center for Women, the Palestinian women’s group accompanying her. Hey! That's not a complete sentence... Escorted by a Palestinian expert on settlements, the two-time Oscar winner "They should be someplace else. Like Paraguay." The aerobics queen known also for her anti-war campaigns during the US war on Vietnam arrived in the region last Tuesday. And she's had everybody in stitches ever since. |

| #3 Think Ted Turner's pissed that there's no "karo-kari" in Georgia? |

| #2 Too bad there wasn't an anti-aircraft gun for her to sit on. I'm surprised she didn't strap on a bomb belt to show her support. |

| #1 What is with the 3 day visits. Sean Penn learned everything about Iraq in 3 days, now Jane is doing the 3 day tour. What we need is a few of these people booked on a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour. |
