Tours
· Looking
into the distance.
View the entire region from several vantage points as a follow-up to previous
activities. half of these points lie well within the Green line and outside of
populated areas (Katzir, Tsomet Barkai, Harish). The others are in the West Bank
and beyond the green line (Under Harish, Hinanit, Reichan).
· Visit
Barta'a.
Barta'a is
an arab village in the northern West Bank that was divided by the 1949 armistice
treaty between Israel & Jordan. The west side of Barta'a is Israeli and the East
is now under Palestinian control. The Security barrier that Israel has been
erecting has, as a by-product, turned Barta'a into a teeming market place.
Although the Green Line runs through the center of the village there is no
physical evidence of. To the naked eye Barta'a is one continuous village. Tours
can visit the west side of the village up to the green line on a short excursion
and get a first hand view of the place, or go for the longer tour into the
eastern side of the village and visit some of the mainstays of the market place.
In both case visitors will have a chance to meet the villagers and the
shopkeepers and talk to them freely.
