A sample of what people h ave said:
“I have no hesitation in recommending this to ur. I have read extensively on the subject but nothing could prepare me for what I witnessed. The tour operators are professional and have a great dea l of knowledge on the subject. Combined with the organizations and people t hat we met it provided me with a much greater understanding of the situatio n. It also provided me the knowledge and confidence to publicly speak on th e issue and spread the message from the Occupied Palestinian Territories wh enever the opportunity presents itself.” &nb sp; &nb sp;

“A brilliant tour, incredibly informative. I have been following the Israel/Palestine conflict for much of my adult li fe but we found out more by being in Palestine for 9 days, meeting people a nd seeing the situation on the ground than in years of reading.” ; ; &nbs p; &nb sp; < /em> &nb sp; &nb sp; &nbs p; Prof David Turner, Canterbury , England – May 2009
“It is always possible to comment on political situati ons in distant places but to do so with conviction needs an opportunity to come face to face with the realities of everyday life, and to meet people o n both sides of the conflict. This tour enabled me to do just that with reg ard to the health care situation in the Occupied Territories.”

&ldq uo;I really appreciate the time and thought that went into making this a tr ip of a lifetime.
