Gaza

From West Wing Wiki

A fact-finding tour to the hotly disputed Gaza Strip includes Donna, Admiral Fitzwallace and a few congressmen as they sort through the thicket of rival issues between the Palestinians and Israelis -- but the killing fields soon claim some of the delegation when a deadly bomb shatters their vehicle and has the President considering targets for military action. In flashbacks, Donna is attracted to a dashing British photojournalist who opens her eyes to his graphic world of recording mankind's most heinous acts of violence.

[edit] Trivia

[edit] Goofs

When Josh is shown on the plane reading his email from Donna, the words we hear her say in her voiceover do not match up to the words she has already written.

Mrs. Fitzwallace is called Gail in this episode, but her husband referred to her as Laura in "The Dogs of War". [1]

[edit] Quotes

Kate Harper: There was a time when Palestinians and all Arabs wanted to drive Jews into the sea, but some would argue that time's past.... I'm not sure any credible Arab leader truly expects Israel's demise anymore, not even the Chairman.... Palestinians are no longer fighting to destroy the Jewish State. They're fighting for a state of their own, a revolutionary struggle against an occupying force and revolutionaries will outlast and out-die occupiers every time...
