Here is an interesting video sent out to the FCCOL email list by Hassan Fouda, I have tried uploading videos here but so far it hasn't worked, but if you get a chance check this out:

Another site I stumbled upon which might also be of interest is this:

In addition to the content of the article (also by Nicholas Kristof) I like how the feedback comments encompass a range of perspectives, which I want to pursue while I am here. They gave me a lot of ideas of the kind of people to talk to.
In the summer of 2010 I lived in Beit Sahour (in the West Bank) as an extension of the Tree of Life Journey, the annual interfaith trip organized by the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme. The purpose of my return was to forge a deeper relationship with the community of Beit Sahour, generate awareness of peaceful conflict resolution efforts, and also to demonstrate American support for the plight of the Palestinians. Pictured below is the separation barrier between Israel and the West Bank.
