Delegations to
Palestine
 Page
in progress
Several organizations send delegations to
Palestine. We will continue to post all those we
know of.
- Free
Gaza
Scroll down to Come Aboard; it may be
possible for you to have one of the remaining places
onboard the Break the Siege. At the bottom of the
page, there's more info under Volunteer in Palestine.
- FOR delegation to Israel
and Palestine
The Fellowship of Reconciliation
conducts regular delegations to Israel
and Palestine, and sometimes Jordan.
Delegates meet with a wide variety of
Palestinians and Israelis, including
activists on both sides. They visit holy
sites and learn about the history of the
region and its conflict. Find out
more about Interfaith Peace-Builders
delegations to Israel and Palestine.
- AFSC - Yearly Palestinian
Olive Harvest - a trip is planned for
November, 2005!
"The annual olive harvest is a
symbol of life for Palestinian
communities, an affirmation of their
historical, economic and spiritual
connection to the land -- and a rejection
of Israeli efforts to seize that land.
Volunteers are being called from around
the globe to stay in Palestinian homes in
West Bank communities and accompany
Palestinians to their olive groves to
help with the harvest. In the past, the
presence of internationals during harvest
time has helped decrease instances of
settler and soldier harassment of
Palestinian farmers and their families --
and has lessened the severity of attacks
when they do occur. Internationals serve
as witnesses, documenting and exposing
the conditions under which Palestinians
struggle to survive and maintain their
culture.
In addition to olive harvest, volunteers
will likely have the opportunity to join
Palestinians in nonviolent protests
throughout the West Bank against the
construction of settlements, settlement
roads, and the Annexation Barrier.
A Boston-based activist group hopes to
send a delegation to Palestine to
participate, for 2 to 3 weeks, in this
season's olive harvest, with an
approximate timeframe of November 5th -
25th.
For more information or to request an
application contact:
oliveharvest@verizon.net. We will be
conducting in-person interviews and will
notify applicants of their acceptance as
soon as possible."
