Tours in May and June 2012

On an illuminating tour to places you don’t usually frequent,
 and during encounters with people you don’t usually meet, you will:

•    observe the two distinctive ways of life in the West Bank – of the Palestinians and of the Israeli settlers in Samaria;
•    appreciate the significance of the 1967 border in light of President Obama's peace outline;
•    view the Separation Barrier and changes in its route;
•    visit a checkpoint that is one of the 66 “agricultural gates” separating farmers from their land;
•    travel on two types of roads: those open to all and those only for Israelis;
•    meet with Palestinians in their villages;
•    observe Israeli settlements and appreciate the landscape;
•    get a sense of what is required of the soldiers serving in the West Bank.
 
Your tour guides are members of MachsomWatch.
