Day seminar in east Jerusalem

During June, the students of Kattamonim and Kiryat-Yovel communities took part in a day seminar regarding East-Jerusalem. The day included an alternative tour in east-Jerusalem (held by The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions), and discussions with residents.

We started off at the ICAHD office, learning about the situation at the east side of the city. Then, we went on to the tour in Silwan, one of the Palestinian neighborhoods in east Jerusalem. There we've meet with parents, who taught us about the education problems in east Jerusalem. The tour ended in the refugee camp Anata, where we've meet with residents.

The day was enlightening, and raised burning questions which keep echoing in our minds until this day.
