1/26/13. Thoughts on Israel : presumptions vs the actual experience. ( note: first 2 photos are of Ramallah. The last photos are of Rawabi.)
I never felt unsafe in Israel, not even when we went to the Gaza crossing at Erez or drove into the West Bank with a member of the PLO. My experience, though it started with a lack of hope for Israel,and the Palestinians, ended With hope.
Starting in the town closest to the Gazan border and throughout the Southern Territories there was a sense of commitment to peace. A real longing to tear down the barriers and develop commerce and dialogue with the people of Gaza. Left to
themselves it might be better for both groups to start a dialog of compassion and mutual problem solving. This never occurred to me; my Initial thoughts were, PEACE, NEVER!
As our group moved on, we wound up in Rawabi, a new town being built in the West Bank. So much promise, so much industry, a true destination point. I could only think of the possibilities for the Palestinians and the Israeli’s. I’ve always believed that if people were exposed to McDonalds, Malls, Culture (theirs or ours) they would choose life over Rockets.
For me , Rawabi offered hope. There are always choices?

Superb blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics
talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get advice from other experienced people
that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Thanks!
Hi there:
I’m not sure where to send you? I belong to an Israeli committee at my Temple.
CUFI, Christians United for Israel supports Israel.
I get my news from Honest Reporting, The Times of Israel, Harretz, The Jerusalem Post, Al Jazeera , BBC and now Israel is promoting a new dialogue called Israel side! These are a few of the publications. I also read Print newspapers.
Technion, the University partnering with Cornell, in NYC, also has a website .
Are you located in Denmark?
Send me another note and I’ll ask if any of the organizations mentioned are based where you are.
All the best. Joyce
