West Bank

Tuesday 5th of July 2011


I've visited a village near Bethlehem today:

Extraordinary experience and my firs tip to the West Bank. I was surprised to see how similar it really is to Jerusalem. The wall made no difference as yet . Lets wait 50 years (got forbid) and East and West Berlin will emerge. However I was shocked with the division which exists in the car traffic. Going to Bethlehem, passing the Municipal border we entered roads which weaved around Jerusalem highways. Country roads under the Israeli high speed new built motorways! Another level of separation.

Looking at how people lived was the aim of the trip, but we found so much more! We found out how they feel being in West Bank, being prohibited from travelling, being micromanaged by legislation! A women we spoke to called Jamile Latif made a long list of recommended reading: she spoke of the matrix of control creates a lot of ever changing bureaucracyto make people feel they are incompetent.

  1. Rabkin: A Threat from Within: A History of Jewish Opposition to Zionism,
  2. Michael Anthony Hoffman II: Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Anti-Biblical Religion of Racism, Self-Worship, Superstition and Deceit
  3. Meron Benvenisti: Sacred Landscape: The Buried History of the Holy Land since 1948
  4. Andrew Carrington Hitchcock : The Synagogue of Satan

Last on a way back on a lamp post in Bethlehem I have see this poster: Culture in Resistance: www.alternativenews.org
