Wadi Qilt trip, March 2007

Deir St George - a 6th century monastery in the Wadi Qilt near Jericho.

"You look up when you desire to be exalted. But I look down because I am exalted.

Who among you can at the same time laugh and be exalted?

He who walks upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, both real and imagined."

Um Salamona Protest, Friday March 10th

Building the Wall at Um Salamona

Villagers gather on Friday to pray and protest. Their orchards are being bulldozed and 70 % of their land will be behind the wall, annexed to Efrat settlement

They march the route the wall will take through their lands, before dispersing peacefully. Many families, dependent on agriculture, will be ruined and impoverished.
