During the tour with the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), the delegates visit the wall separating Abu Dis and Azziriya (Bethany). This wall, a five-minute drive from the Mount of Olives, divides two Palestinian neighborhoods of Jerusalem. |

With manicured lawns, arranged flower beds, and clean streets, the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adumim is another world--but just a ten-minute drive (for those who can make it through a checkpoint) from the wall in Abu Dis pictured above. |
