Coronavirus update:

From BBC News "The Palestinian Authority has ordered the closure all churches, mosques and the cancellation of all hotel reservations “to prevent the entry of foreign tourists into Bethlehem”."

Might be worth checking for anyone visiting soon

The Greek tourists were most likely infected in Mount Sina where they came in contact with a group from S. Korea. It is impossible to stop this virus. We have now closed schools, theaters etc in the region of Patras. This will spread quickly...

... none of those photos show the caves where the Scrolls where found ...

... Saba Monastery was great though and the drive to it ...

The last update 7 Cases in Bethlehem

Walled Off hotel:ـ

15 American tourists quarantined in Bethlehem hotel,
wise choice limiting travellers as all parts of the world travel to that area and will multiple virus untold times  once travellers in their home countries

Probably new artwork when reopen to attract mass visitors to make up for lost revenue , maybe one of the paintings from the banksy or VIP room in a boxset edition ?

Check all the Chinese websites 

I know there are some websites on ebay that sell PPE

Yes you are right but will pay

In 6 days, Israel's Prime Minister is set to expand Israel into much of Palestine.
 


Palestine is recognised by the United Nations. But Israel's government is simply taking it over, in violation of international law.



Virtually everyone opposes this, but the question is whether anyone will do anything about it. Europe and others have the power to make Israel think twice, but they need to hear a massive demand for action from citizens first. Let's give it to them!

Israel is leaving bits of land to be somewhat self-governed by Palestinians, while besieging them with walls, colonies and military towers. Israel may advance its annexation in stages to decrease international alarm, but the remainder of Palestine already looks like swiss cheese; an impossible state to live in, function, and govern.



Palestinians would effectively be corralled into pockets of land -- like large open-air prisons, under the tight control of Israel. Many call it Apartheid. As Israel's largest trade partner, the EU can make clear that annexation and human rights violations in Palestine will lead to sanctions.

This is one of the most illegitimate actions ever taken in the long tragic history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If the world yawns, it will mean a new era of injustice and cruelty.
