We begin again in At Tuwani, where CPT has their main operation which I explained in my earlier post. We did school patrol again at the crack of dawn, and luckily there was no conflicts once again. We did have some settlers in a suv drive by very slowly on a road about 300 feet...
Well, for all those wondering, we’ve touched down in New Jersey and are once again settled in at home. A few things I found myself grateful for today: 1. I was finally contacted by El Al airlines (I can’t say I recommend them completely, but they are apparently the best airline to ride if you...

Hey Joel,
My mom told me about this blog so I came to take a look. They are very beautiful pictures. I am glad you got to go to Palestine. I have been protesting and praying back here in L.A. I have also been working for muslims here, so Palestine is becoming closer to my heart. Thanks for the post.
