#Cadfa #womenslinkswithpalestine exchange in Palestine with 30 women from the UK and Palestine together, talking, looking, listening to stories, making things together.
HEBRON. Such a beautiful, old, important city strangled and menaced by settlers and military occupation... Here are top impressions (immediately afterwards) from some of the #CADFA #womenslinkswithpalestne visitors today #twinninginaction...
How emotional it was seeing a person released from prison after 13 years
How hospitable people are despite all the problems they face
A photographer describing the stories of young people killed by Israeli soldiers and whom he had seen framed (they had done nothing)
A very good day... wanted more time there
Lots of the Palestinians hadn't been to Hebron before: it's hard to move when the situation is so frightening
Someone from Halhul (near Hebron) who'd not been to th Old City before
Amazing resilience, the people living on with all the closures and settler attacks
(From UK grouo) the first time I've ever been in a mosque
Hearing of people's shops being welded shut by the Israeli army with the family inside
Skcked by a bullet proof sheet near Abrahams tomb; separating the mosque and the synagogue side
Seeing an Israeli soldier with a gun and feeling the market streets so claustrophobic
Seeing how close the settlements are
Abd how many
Seeing all the hurdles and nd how difficult to get into an important mosque, how difficult for people
Wondering what it could be like to have your town blocked so you can't go in and out
Seeing an army training session and teargas on the way to Hebron
Just a lovely day (young woman from Hebron)
Not surprised to see the shock on the UK people's faces, it shouldn't be like this Palestinian)
Thinking about how it affects every aspect of people's lives... how difficult it even is to get married
When we went to the women's centre, I felt hopeful: people are fighting for social rights for women. But then we visited the Old City and it turned round, soldiers closing people's doors aspect rend homes
Ladders into houses
The resilience of people staying and living through this
So many different emotions in one day: scared on the road, emotional, so sad to hear what's happening, happy for the girls who managed to get to the mosque this time...

The #Cadfa #womenslinkswithpalestine #twinninginaction exchange to Palestine has now taken people to cities, villages, the countryside and refugee camps, learning new things everyday. Visitors from the UK have moved between saying how lovely it is and real shock of finding out about life (and death) in Palestine ...One of the Palestinian participants wrote this:"We enjoy all time & learn very things about our country with cadfa"...It's great to be together and we will invite you to see the photos, videos and sewing!
