Dear Daniela,
back home in Germany I still think a lot of our tour to the West Bank (December 29th) and everything I have learned about the difficult situation. Thank you very much again! A few days after the tour took place Bernhard and I met a very interesting young Israeli in Jerusalem who works for the military waves radio station as part of his army service and is in charge of everything happening in the West Bank. He showed us Eastern Jerusalem which was again very interesting. We also talked a lot about what we had experienced on the tour and he told us that just recently a Palestinian in Kfar Qadum had died. It must have happened maybe two or three days after we were there. He said that it is being discussed whether it was natural death or whether the man died because of gas in his home that had been employed by the Israeli army... I was very moved by this.
Well, I just wanted to tell you that without the tour I would never have understood as much. Thank you! Next time I will be in Israel I would like to get into contact with you again.
With kind regards,
Claire
