A Two-Week Fact-Finding Trip
Seeking Understanding in Israel/Palestine
May 16-30, 2009 Organized by Friends of Sabeel-Colorado
Trip Objectives:
- To visit with Palestinian and Israeli peace and human rights groups and individuals working for peace.

- To consider what is needed for a just peace.

Explore the winding streets and bazaars of the Old City. - Tour the illegal settlements of East Jerusalem with the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), stand with the Women in Black on Friday at noon, meet with an Israeli Refusenik, the Israeli Human Rights organization B’Tselem, and a woman from Machsom Watch; visit the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem.
- Tour the Old City of Bethlehem and the Church of the Nativity; visit a refugee camp, meet with the Badil Center for Refugee Rights, visit in the homes of Palestinians in the Beit Jala area, and learn about nonviolent resistance against the construction of the wall.
- Travel to Galilee to visit Nazareth, the Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum, and spend two nights by the Sea of Galilee.
- Enjoy a feast in the Palestinian village of Ayn Hawd that was internally displaced in 1948, and learn about the struggle of the "unrecognized villages" within Israel.
- Visit the West Bank cities of Nablus and Ramallah; meet with the "Stop the Wall Campaign."
