This Sabeel witness visit, led by Rev. Naim Ateek, will give participants the unique opportunity to experience the reality of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. This includes the separation wall, illegal settlements, checkpoints, confiscated and demolished homes, and refugee camps. Participants will be able to learn firsthand about the loss of civil and property rights of Arab Israeli citizens, as well as see for themselves the past and present violations of international and humanitarian law.

A conference in Santa Rosa and San Francisco will feature activists, religious leaders, and scholars who will discuss the United States’ role in creating the situation and will offer their vision for the future of Palestine and Israel.
