Israel/Palestine: the journey begins

We begin our journey to the Holy Land in much the same way we begin most days: waking up, checking off items from our To Do lists, doing triage to determine which unfinished tasks will just have to remain unfinished until we return.
We are a group of eleven very different people, all committed to understanding with an open mind the context of Israel and Palestine. Although we're all well read, our aim is to set aside our preconception of the situation, and learn.
Farewell, Minneapolis.
