The Settler Tour To Incite Hatred

  Tourists who visit Hebron are likely to get more than they bargained for if they walk

 

through the Old City on Saturday afternoon.  Shoppers choosing between embroidered

​

dresses and brightly colored kaffiyas will be surprised by dozens of soldiers, dressed for

​

war and pointing their weapons at visitors and shopkeepers.   Travelers who were hoping

​

to purchase a falafel on their way to visit the tomb of Abraham and the historic Ibrahimi

​

Mosque will find their way blocked as Israeli police and soldiers spread through the

​

square at Bab al Baladiya and fill the narrow walled roads of the old city shopping district.

 Saturday afternoons and on religious holidays, the Settler Tour gives visitors unexpected

​

chance to see the occupation of the historic old city of Hebron through new eyes .
