(Click here to download PDF flyer)

The year between June 2007 and May 2008 provides an effective framework for highlighting the ongoing Palestinian catastrophe:

  • 90 years since the Balfour Declaration
  • 60 years since the Nakba and the founding of the state of Israel
  • 40 years of Occupation
  • 25 years since Sabra/Shatila
  • 20 years since the First Intifada
  • 5 years of the Apartheid Wall

The Sabeel Fall Witness Visit offers a window into the daily lives of Palestinians living under the Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza as well as into the experiences of second-class citizenship of Palestinians who are citizens of Israel.

  • Meet with Palestinian Christian and Muslim leaders of civic and religious organizations as well as with Israeli Jewish advocates for justice.
  • Learn the stories of Palestinian Christians, share the worship that sustains their faith, and engage with Sabeel in promoting justice via liberation theology.
