If you are trying to find new insights into the current situation in Israel\/Palestine, the following two articles are powerful and exactly on point \u2013 at least from our group\u2019s perspective as we travel this land during this critical time.<\/p>\n

We have been asking people we meet here, \u201cHow do you not lose hope?\u201d Their answers are always similar: \u201cWhat is the alternative?\u201d We are seeing the results of the loss of hope every day in signs of violence and the aftermath of conflict. Our tour guides and driver have been incredible about moving through hot spots early in the day to avoid trouble. It has worked every time. There is SO much more to this story than our media is letting us see.<\/p>\n

The checkpoint where these soldiers were waiting was the site of heavy protest activity later in the day.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our trip continues to be eye-opening, heart-expanding, wonderful, intense, troubling, reassuring. Later today we will move into Israel, leaving the West Bank behind for this trip. I suspect it will be like moving to a new planet.<\/p>\n
