Blogging Live From the Middle East
During the week of February 19th I'll be reporting from the Middle East where a group of us are meeting with peacemakers, both Jewish and Palestinian. We'll be inspecting the security barrier, reflecting on its effects upon people on both sides, and meeting with those in government, NGO, education and business enterprises in the aftermath of the Hamas victory and the upcoming Israeli elections. Check back here for regular reports, and photos.

My first visit covered scenic, religious, and historic sites. Check out my photo gallery.
