J oin one of our tours & connect with ICAHD in Jerusalem!
In order to strengthen the voice of the internat ional community, Experience Travel Tours (ETT) encourages people to visit t he Occupied Territories and Israel to be eye-witnesses to the situation on the ground. No amount of reading, attending lectures or watching films can convey an accurate understanding of the “facts on the ground”, which are crucial to any program of advocacy. Our tours provide a unique op portunity to gain first-hand, in-depth knowledge of some of the latest anal ysis.
We offer participants:
&m iddot; &n bsp; special opportunities to be guided by Jeff Halper, Angela Godfrey-Goldstein, Yahav Zohar and others, right at the heart of ICAHD
· unique a ccess to key people - Jews, Christians and Muslims - and to places unavaila ble to the lone traveller
· in-depth analysis that examines several aspects of life today in Israel, Jerus alem and Palestine bringing greater understanding of what is required to achieve a just and sustainable solution for both people groups
ETT tour programm es are a rich mosaic of the political, historical and cultura l and several geographical areas are visited – the desert, the mounta ins, the plains and the coast along the Mediterranean Sea.< /p>
The iti nerary for each study tour varies as we attempt to respond to the current s ituation on the ground.
Study tours for 2010 take place in May and November.

A sample of what people have said:
“I have no hesitation in recommending this tour. I have read extensiv ely on the subject but nothing could prepare me for what I witnessed. The t our operators are professional and have a great deal of knowledge on the su bject. Combined with the organizations and people that we met it provided m e with a much greater understanding of the situation. It also provided me t he knowledge and confidence to publicly speak on the issue and spread the m essage from the Occupied Palestinian Territories whenever the opportunity p resents itself.” &nb sp; &nb sp; ;

“A brilliant tour, incredibly informative. I have been following th e Israel/Palestine conflict for much of my adult life but we found out more by being in Palestine for 9 days, meeting people and seeing the situation on the ground than in years of reading.” ; &nbs p; &nb sp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &n bsp; &nb sp; Prof David Turner, Canterbury, England – May 20 09
“It is always possible to comment on political situations in distant places bu t to do so with conviction needs an opportunity to come face to face with t he realities of everyday life, and to meet people on both sides of the conf lict. This tour enabled me to do just that with regard to the health care s ituation in the Occupied Territories.”
