The continuing construction in the settlements is creating situation that will soon be impossible to reverse - it will destroy the option of a two state solution.
Peace Now invites you to join us on a series of organised tours in the land of the settlements.
In the month of July, Peace Now will be holding 3 guided tours of the West Bank.
Each tour will deal with different subject and will allow a close up look of the reality that is taking place so close to home, yet seems far from our day to day life.
4.7.08 - Outposts and Isolated Settlements
Small places - large problems. Travel deep into the West Bank at the farthest locations, where the most isolated settlements sit in the heart of the conflict.
Tour Path: Migron- the largest outpost in the West Bank. Bet El, Ofra and Shilo the most ideological settlements
11.7.08 - Roadblocks, Fences and Freeways
The Settlement enterprise has turned the Palestinian daily life into an impossible task.
