Salfeet, a Palestinian village in the West Bank, suffers from the continued expansion of settlements surrounding it. Today's townhall meeting was here.
“They want to make our lives a nightmare.” This statement was emblematic of the feeling in the room. The participants were evidently frustrated and angry, but rather animated at the prospect of having an audience of Western ‘ambassadors’, as they saw us.
Several parallels could be drawn between the people of Sderot and Salfeet, in that both felt the other side were unwilling to negotiate, that the whole world was against them, but also that both wanted peace in the direction of a two state solution.
