This delegation is Eyewitness Palestine's 69th, successfully exposing nearly 1,400 people to the daily realities facing Palestinians in their quest for justice.
We believe in the power of eyewitness experience and transformation. Given the opportunity to speak directly with Palestinians and Israelis, delegates return to the United States better informed, more energized, and with a deeper understanding of the possibilities for true justice in the Middle East.
What’s so interesting to me is how different yet similar everyone on this delegation is. Different walks of life yet all on a path to seek justice. From various places and have experienced our share of difficult challenges. Old to young, we all yearn for the knowledge to soak up and hopefully relay to others back home.
