So reports investigative journalist David Bedein of Israel Resource News Agency.

“The new Palestinian Arab city of Rawabi,” writes Bedein, “has publicized in all stages of its development that it would build schools that would promote peace and reconciliation”.

I was ready to go home after only a week, even though the company had me in one of those posh French owned hotels in Damman with great food, great accommodations and trusted drivers from the Philippines and India.

Need to move all the refugee camps to within the city limits of this new city.

Heck, no need to even go there to visit anymore. I can see bearded mohameddans leading around women in black sacks of cloth right here in my hometown now! The only thing that’s missing is the camels.
