COMMENTS: Surfers for Peace
Last week NBC's Martin Fletcher told us of the West Bank children who live just 60 miles from the Mediterranean but had never seen sea or sand because of Israel's roadblocks against Palestinians. Now ABC's Simon McGregor-Wood introduces us to the 20 members of the Gaza Surfing Union. They can go to the beach all right but were unable to ride the waves because Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip included surfing equipment. McGregor-Wood introduced us to Dorian Paskowitz, an 88-year-old Hawaiian physician, who persuaded Israel to relent. Now the surfers of Gaza have twelve boards to ride.
