Dear Friends,

At the outset, allow me salute you at the achievement of the above Seminar in Wahat al-Salam/Neveh Shalom.

As most or all of you might be aware, you arrive in a country named Palestine ripped apart by a conflict between a settler colonial apartheid state named the State of Israel and the indigenous people of the country of Palestine, the Palestinian Arab people.

Those of you who are interested to familiarize themselves not only in the post-1967 occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, but also with the history of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, a crime against humanity perpetrated by the Israeli army in the course of and in the wake of the 1948-49 war, and with the internal colonialism of Palestine inside the State of Israel are invited to contact me at my e-mail address above with the view to participating in a critical tour of the City of Ramle (almost adjacent to Wahat al-Salam/Neveh Shalom) and the coastal area of Herzliyyah-Pituah and Kibbutz Shefayyim.

The date of your arrival in Wahat al-Salam/Neveh Shalom is designated for Wednesday, 22 August 2007.

The said Seminar is scheduled to begin on the following day, Thursday, 23 August 2007, 16:00

The proposed critical tour aims to depart Wahat al-Salam/Neveh Shalom on Thursday, 23 August 2007 at 09:00, returning 15:00.

With all good wishes

Sincerely

Uri Davis (Dr)
