Gethsemane, Refugees, & Jesus birthplace

We stopped at the Garden of Gethsemane, viewing the 2000+ years olive trees and church beside it. Then into Zone C to a refugee camp that was created 2 generations ago when some Palestinians were removed from Israel. They are very entrenched in their anger, bitterness and resentment, and see no other way forward except for being given their land back and financially compensated for the wrongs incurred. It was sad. Then we drove further into Bethlehem and waited in line for nearly two hours to see the cave or stable where Jesus was born, which was not spectacular. The bus dropped some people off at the museum but we got dropped off and walked 25 minutes to a local Jewish market which had a big variety of foods and clothing etc. that was a lot of fun.Leer más
