Time to go to Israel and Palestine!

Plans have changed a bit, so hopefully our journey there is going to be a little shorter (no agonizing ferry, alhumdulilah). Cross your fingers that I don't get questioned too much about my Arabic textbook, and that the border into Palestine stays open... and that stuff like this can hold off from the civilian areas. Seriously.

Barring extraneous circumstances, I should be back Sunday night. Updates then!

Glad to hear you made it to Jerusalem with no problems! Now let's hope you don't have any problems getting back!

This just in from "Haaretz Daily Newspaper Israel":

"West Bank settlers on Friday assaulted left-wing activists who had come to protect about 20 Palestinian shepherds in the southern Hebron Hills.

Arik Ascherman, the executive director of Rabbis for Human Rights, said eight settlers, with dogs, assaulted the three Israeli and seven foreign left-wing activists, breaking several cameras."

If you stay out of the local politics you should be OK!

And your camera, too!

Seriously though, are you with the People's Front of Judea, or the Judean People's Front?
