New photo galleries, plus things to do
It will take a long time to go through the thousands of photos from this trip, some of which I really like. For now I’ve added three more galleries to my photo site: Rahat (Israel’s neglected and marginalized Bedouin city, which I’ve blogged about; Dimona’s Hebrew Israelites (Black Hebrews); and last Friday’s Bil’in demonstration, which I haven’t had time yet to describe. Lot’s more to come, eventually.
In the meantime, one more photo: Jericho from the Wadi Kelt, near the end of Sunday’s hike.
Right now I’m going out for a bit. I had planned to go to Jerusalem today and then on a tour to Hebron’s Jewish-settler-controlled streets. I was there two years ago, and would have gone again but ran out of steam. Figured I’d catch up on things, or at least start to.
Here’s my current list of topics I’ve been too busy to blog about since getting to Ramallah last week:
- Friday’s Bil’in protest, which varied significantly from the one I went to in October
- My experiences at Birzeit teaching my workshops, meeting people, walking around
- Passing through Qalandia checkpoint on the way to Jerusalem
- Sunday’s bus and walking tour from Jerusalem to Jericho
- Hanging out in the twin cities Ramallah/Al Bireh, at Zyriab’s, Stars and Bucks, my hotel, elsewhere
- The view from my hotel room of Psagot, the Jewish settlement on the hill overlooking Al Bireh
Maybe I’ll get back to some of these, maybe not. In the meantime, here’s Psagot on the hill, with Al Bireh below, looking out through my window.
