DESTINATION BETHLEHEM 2008, by ejvaze on Jan 17, 2008 0:39:02 GMT 1, So you could not make it to the Ghetto this Christmas 
You didn't get enough notice.
You didn't get enough time off work.
You didn't have enough money.
You didn't know where to go.
You didn't know where to stay.
You didn't know what to see.
You didn't know how to benefit the people who live there.
You didn't know it was this years must place to visit.
You didn't know Chanel 5s rough guide featured Bethlehem as a holiday destination.
Well it is 
Have a look at this link below and it may make some of the above irrelevant.
jerusalem.htm
You may need to cut and past this
Bethlehem starts at around 3:10
As I said when I came back.
Get out there and help make a difference to the lives of those living out there by spending some of your tourist money
Christmas is over as is the Santa's Ghetto and fading into the mist BUT lets try and keep Banksy's thoughts and hopes for the area alive. He didn't necessarily want you all to go out and spend loads of money at the Ghetto, it was more about the area and what the conflict between two peoples are doing to each other.
He wanted and wants you to see the situation for yourselves and help the Palestinians by spending some of your tourist money which helps the place.
They badly need the tourists back money spent will hopefully help get employment back.
I am thinking of going again this year to see all the things I missed.
I would like to see, the art, if there is any left, that hadn't been put up on the wall when I was there, the wall, the refugee camp and more of the people and place.
BUT MOST OF ALL.... I would really love to be able to go and see what the Ghetto money has done and is doing for the children and place.
My one BIG WISH  ;D

DESTINATION BETHLEHEM 2008, by romanywg on Jan 17, 2008 0:59:05 GMT 1, I am hoping to go in a couple of weeks, work permitting. When I mentioned it to my mum the other day she told me she had been there twice in the last couple of years (and she's 82!)
