Thousands celebrate Palestinian culture in Jerusalem
Thousands of people surrounded Jerusalem's Old City walls from Bab al-Khalil (Jaffa Gate) to Bab al-Asbat (Lions' Gate) on March 16 for a celebration of Palestinian culture and education.
In an event organized by the Shabbab al-Balad youth initiative, Palestinians from Jerusalem, the West Bank, and areas inside Israel gathered to read and to mark the anniversary of the opening of a public library in East Jerusalem's Jabal al-Mukkaber neighborhood.
For those in the West Bank who were unable to obtain Israeli permits to enter Jerusalem, a similar event was held in Bethlehem's Manger Square.

STORYLINE
Security was tight in Hebron as Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad attended Friday prayers at a disputed site in the West Bank town.
Palestinians have been protesting in Hebron since Israel declared on Sunday that it would add the town''s Cave of Patriarchs and Rachel''s Tomb in nearby Bethlehem to its list of national heritage sites.
The move angered Palestinians, who want Israel out of the territory.
Jews revere the Hebron site where the Bible says the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were buried along with three of their wives.
Muslims call it the al-Ibrahimi mosque, reflecting the fact that Abraham is considered the father of both Judaism and Islam.
On Thursday, the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC), representing 57 predominantly Muslim states, strongly condemned the Israeli government''s decision, calling it illegal and an attempt to trigger religious confrontation.
In a statement issued after a meeting of its ambassadors at UN headquarters in New York, the OIC urged the UN Security Council to take immediate steps to compel the Israeli government to revoke this illegitimate action.
It called on the Quartet of Mideast peacemakers - the UN, the US, the European Union and Russia - to stand up to this blatant act of aggression which represents a serious provocation to Muslims ... and has the serious potential to incite yet another cycle of violence to further destabilise the fragile situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The US, UN and some European nations have also expressed opposition.
US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said on Wednesday the decision was provocative and unhelpful to the goal of restarting peace talks.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the region could plunge into a religious war over the issue.
In an interview with Israeli TV, Benjamin Netanyahu called the affair a misunderstanding, saying there was no intention to infringe on Muslim freedom of worship.
He said the intent was to protect and maintain the sites.
Hebron has been a flashpoint for decades.
Several hundred ultranationalist Jewish settlers live in heavily guarded enclaves in the midst of some 170-thousand Palestinians.
Under accords signed in the 1990s, the Palestinians control 80 percent of the city and the Israeli military controls 20 percent.

A tour in the old city of Hebron
A small group of us from The Excellence Center visited the old city in Hebron today, here in early March. It was a lovely, warm day, and the journey through the old city was a remarkable experience in many ways.
The old city was constructed over several hundred years, starting in about 1250 during Mamluk rule (Mamluks were a ‘warrior class’ that developed from ‘slave soldiers’ in the Middle Ages, and siezed power in certain areas, including in the Levant). It is built almost completely of locally quarried limestone, such that the buildings are constructed of thick rock walls that have endured for up to 750 years.
The market area is enchanting, with narrow alleys off the main road leading to mysterious small arched openings and ancient wooden doors. The architecture and antiquity are notable enough that as of 2017 the UN’s world heritage body has recognized the old city of Hebron in the West Bank as a Palestinian world heritage site.
The Center of interest for some locals and visitors alike is the site of Al-Ibrahimi Mosque and the tomb of the Patriarchs. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all venerate the city of Hebron for its association with Abraham (Ibrahim), considered to be a prophet in all three religions.
Walking through the narrow souk, or marketplace, is a colorful experience, both literally and figuratively. All manner of food, spices and bright clothing line the route. The merchants are anxious to produce some income each day and readily engage with passers-by, but they are friendly and easy to leave behind. On the other hand, one of the richest aspects of the day was conversing with the sellers who were fluent in English, as they would speak passionately and eloquently about the situation for Palestinians living especially in Hebron, but also for the difficulties for most Palestinians in the occupied territories and throughout the world.
A notable aspect of the souk is that some of the upper stories of the buildings lining the market are now home to Jewish settlers, who first came to this otherwise Palestinian portion of Hebron in 1968, when a group of Israelis posing as Swiss tourists rented rooms from the main hotel in Hebron and then refused to leave. This group was in fact convinced to move into a new settlement on the outskirts of the city, but in 1979 some Jewish settlers took over some buildings in the area, and with the support of the Israeli government have persisted every since. There are currently four Jewish enclaves in the old city with a population of about 800 people, while the Palestinian population of that portion of Hebron is about 30,000. The Hebron Protocol of 1997 divided the city into two sectors: H1, controlled by the Palestinian Authority and H2 (consisting primarily of the old city), roughly 20% of the city, administered by Israel.
There is considerable antipathy and tension between the resident Palestinians and the Jewish settlers, and in fact the latter are guarded by an entire brigade (somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500 soldiers) of Israeli soldiers, who are very much in evidence. Settlers in the upper stories of the buildings lining the souk regularly throw various objects at the Palestinians below, including rocks and garbage; in response, large areas of the market are covered with wire netting.
An additional form of adversity for Palestinians is that there are currently over 100 physical obstacles, including 18 permanently-staffed checkpoints and 14 partial checkpoints that separate the settlement areas from the rest of the city. Several streets within this area are designated for the exclusive use of settlers and are access restricted for Palestinian traffic and in some streets, Palestinian pedestrians are banned. Obviously, this has made life extremely difficult for Palestinians living there.
Thus a stroll through the souk in the old city of Hebron is a multi-dimension experience, filling senses with the sights, sounds and fragrances of an ancient Arab/Islamic marketplace and medieval architecture, while palpably demonstrating to the visitor the enduring schisms between different human cultures in general and the Muslims and Jews in this part of the world in particular.

A Synagogue, a Mosque, and Bulletproof Glass
In the center of the Palestinian city of Hebron, visitors are welcome to tour both the mosque and the synagogue that share the Tomb of the Patriarchs. Here is a quick walk through the synagogue and a peek at the tomb of Abraham—who died here about 4000 years ago. Look for the bulletproof glass that separates the Muslim and Jewish sides of the much-venerated tomb. Of everything we filmed to produce our TV special here, this beloved tomb with its bullet-proof glass was poignant and a thrill to share with our viewers.
I am really thankful that we can share the lessons of our travels with so many Americans. That’s possible only because public television has the courage and mission to air programs that corporations would not pay for through their advertising. That’s really what “public” TV is all about.

#Palestine || It’s been 25 years since an American-Israeli man shot dead 29 Muslims at a mosque in Hebron in the occupied West Bank. After the mass killing, Palestinians were banned from entering many of Hebron’s main streets - and even parts of their own houses. Now, many Palestinians live in buildings with Israeli settlers occupying the floor above.

Hebron, Palestine. 2017.
Here's a short vlog of my beautiful city Hebron in beautiful Palestine.
It breaks my heart to see what's happening in Gaza now and the moving of the embassy.
Moving the embassy is another means of ethnically cleansing Palestinians, complete erasure of our existence for colonial expansion.
In memory of those who have lost their lives, their homes, and their land.
Our right to return will never fall.
WE WILL RETURN.

Abraham's Hebron: Then and Now Part 2: The Tomb of the Patriarchs- Jeffrey M. Bradshaw
Abraham’s Hebron: Then and Now
Part 2: The Tomb of the Patriarchs
The purpose of this five-part series of videos is to provide a brief introduction to some of the places linked in tradition to the lives of the family of Abraham and Sarah. Many, though not all, of the sites we will visit are in or near the city of Hebron. Hebron and surrounding areas served as somewhat of a hub for Abraham in his many journeys.
Although archaeology cannot directly substantiate the scriptural stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, it can tell us something about the geography, settlements, and daily life of their contemporaries. Learning more about these places helps us get a more realistic sense of the setting in which the patriarchs lived. It is hoped that this series of presentations will increase exposure to these lesser-known sites, so rich in biblical history.
This second presentation will take us to the most well-known site connected with Abraham, the Tomb of the Patriarchs located in modern Hebron. In the Bible, this site is connected with the place names of Machpelah and Kiryat Arba. Here Abraham purchased a cave for the burial of Sarah from local residents.
The cave of Machpelah has been a site of pilgrimage for thousands of years. Machpelah has been under the control of Jews, Christians and Muslims at various times in its history. It was enclosed two thousand years ago within a roofless structure whose imposing walls were built by Herod the Great. It was later the site of Byzantine and Crusader Christian churches. In 1267, minaret towers were added by Muslim rulers and the structure was transformed into a large mosque, al-Haram al-Khalil, the al-Khalil referring to Abraham as “the friend,” meaning the friend of God. Jews call it Me’arat HaMachpelah.
The most important features of the structure are its six cenotaphs, monuments to Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Jacob and Leah. The bodies themselves are thought to be buried in the cave beneath the building. Currently sealed off to access, this cave previously has been eamined by ancient and modern explorers, and interesting artifacts have been found.
