"You have heard...But I tell you..."

This is my time in the Occupied West Bank this summer. It's my medium of processing and recording what I am witnessing and observing. I am realizing that there is a lot that I have heard and been taught which does not line up with the reality I am experiencing. My internet access is sporadic at best, but I'll try be faithful and pray you will be too. If you have any comments, questions or want to hear more email me at juliainpalestine@gmail.com I'd love to hear from you!

Children dancing debkah, the traditional Palestinian folklore dance, at Beit Sahour’s facous festival. Beit Sahour is famous for its facous, a vegetable relative of the cucumber, and the whole community turned up for this weekend long festival. Youth climbed the climbing tower, a football tournament sparked a fun rivalry between teams of friends and traditional music and dancing highlighted the nights.
