Day Eight

With the recent clashes at Al-Aqsa mosque, it was appropriate that our final townhall meeting concerned the holy sites. We were joined by three prominent religious leaders, all of whom agreed that it was, “a [territorial] conflict, not a religious conflict.”

In comparison to the previous two meetings, it was less heated and therefore possibly less effective as we were ‘preaching to the choir’.

After the meeting in Jerusalem, we travelled to Bethlehem where we were joined for dinner by the vice-chancellor of Bethlehem University, who expressed his solidarity with the work of the OneVoice Movement.

(sorry for the lack of blog-ness, we're trying to get it all typed up before we have to get to the airport!)
