Brief summary of the trip so far.
There are thirty nine Americans on the bus,
We have eight Israelis plus the driver, the guide our gaurd, Eldad and the two leaders.
Both of them are from Different Progrresive Socialist Zionist groups.
We just finished a really honest and challenging activity on the whole conflict here. The people on the trip are for the most part really able to understand their biasses that doesnt mean we dont have strong oppinions. Today we went to a Rug factory ran by bedouin women.
Out of the group there are at least four vegans and at least six more vegitarians.
We have done so much really awesome stuff, and very rarely have we been given anything that we were supposed to take at face value. Even that at Independance hall yesterday was kind of a joke to us all.
Yesterday we went to a rally standing against the fourty years of occupation since the six day war. I met some radical clowns and was given a bike.
More thought out post coming soon
