    St. Paul’s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai May 17-30, 2011 1 2 A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND AND ST. CATHERINE’S MONASTERY AT MT. SINAI A Prayer for Pilgrims Lord Jesus, You traveled with Your two disciples to Emmaus after the Resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. I beg You: travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your Presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim upon this earth, seeking my true citizenship in heaven. During my pilgrimage, surround me with Your holy angels to guide me and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans for this journey and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Illumine my mind with the incomprehensible light of Your Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. Help me to see the beauty of all things and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in everything You have created. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You do I give thanks, praise and glory, together with Your Father who is without beginning and Your all Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. AMEN. Why make a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? For the Christian, Jerusalem – the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - will always be the center of the world. In the course of 20 centuries, millions of Christians have made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with their goal being Jerusalem as the most important place to journey to and pray at its holy sites – and with Bethlehem a close second.

  • Introduction Since the Jewish National Fund (JNF)

    Introduction Since the Jewish National Fund (JNF)

    Introduction Since the Jewish National Fund (JNF)’s inception, the nongovernmental organization with close ties to the State of Israel has planted over 200 million trees on over 900,000 dunams or 225,000 acres of land in Israel/Palestine (Braverman 2009, 48). The forests are afforestation projects initiated as greening and good environmental stewardship of the land. The afforestation projects created a “natural” means to possess and control land in Israel/Palestine for the Jewish state. The Jewish National Fund planted forests over approximately eighty-six Palestinian villages that were demolished and depopulated during the 1948 Nakba/Arab-Israeli war. The pine forests create both a physical barrier against Palestinians returning to their land, and also the forests hide evidence of Palestinians’ history on the land. Through JNF pine forests, one can see the struggle between both the State of Israel and Palestinians to maintain, or in the case of the State of Israel to establish, a history and thus legitimacy upon the land of Israel/Palestine. Both the State of Israel and Palestinians are struggling to legitimate their right to the land through established histories on the land in Israel/Palestine. Thus the acts of resistance legitimate and aid in Palestinians’ right to return to the land by preventing their past history from being covered by forests and forgotten. Palestinians’ acts of resistance, like continuing to plant olive trees and deliberately setting fires to the JNF pine forests are a struggle to preserve their history and memory on the land against Zionist efforts to eradicate it. Social and Material Ecologies The JNF receives donations for tree planting from all over the world.
  • Nature and Resistance in Palestine

    Nature and Resistance in Palestine

    Nature and Resistance in Palestine Mazin B. Qumsiyeh Professor and Director, Palestine Museum of Natural History (PMNH) and its Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability (PIBS) of Bethlehem University [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The world faces global catastrophic climate change that impacts our environment. In Palestine, this situation is exacerbated because of an environmental “nakba” linked to Zionist colonization over the past century. Sustainability is thus a priority. Environmental education and stewardship must involve coverage of key principles and certain agreed categories based on scientific principles and in a systematic way. The Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability and the Palestine Museum of Natural History and its nascent botanical garden (all at Bethlehem University) provide a model for integrating research, education, and conservation in ways that work to protect the environment even under Israeli occupation. We argue that this is also a form of empowerment and resistance. Introduction Today many people realize that there are major threats facing us as a species; the two largest globally are climate change and the threat of nuclear war. Most people also realize that we cannot wait on governments to address pressing issues that affect our livelihood and sustainability. One can cite hundreds of examples of the short-sightedness and greed driven corporate-governmental-military alliances that threaten our very existence. Most environmentalists were not happy with the inadequate, hesitant and non-binding steps agreed to at that climate summit in Paris. But recently, the US administration under President Trump announced withdrawing from the Paris accords while selling hundreds (is it hundreds of billions?) of billions of dollars worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia (and to Qatar).

    JERUSALEMJERUSALEM The issue of Jerusalem have constituted, both in the far and near past, a basic pivot in determining the future and realities of the surrounding region. The POPULATION & URBANIZATION special importance of conducting a study on the Jerusalem issue rises from the current attempts to define the future of the region in the context of the ongoing political process and the accompanying conflicts, which are in some cases bloody and in other cases peaceful. Because of the importance of Jerusalem for both the Arab Palestinian side and the Zionist Jewish side, the From 1850 - 2000 determination of the future of the region, whether in terms of war or peace, depends on the method in which the issue is dealt with. The Zionist Movement has attempted from the start of its emigration to Palestine to impose new realities in order to decide the issue of Jerusalem for its benefit. The attempts were not restricted to physical realities, but included the creation of an impression and conviction through media and lots of books and publications that worked on forging the past and present history of the city, thus concealing the reality and truth behind a curtain of false propaganda and history forging. Thus, this contribution from the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center came to highlight the events that took place during the historical epoch between 1850 and 2000. We do hope that we can succeed in raising discussion over this issue and highlight the facts and truth and encourage others inside Palestine and abroad to contribute in this discussion and enrich this attempt towards reinforcing a conviction that any solution that does not guarantee the historical, political, national and religious rights of the Arab Palestinian people in Jerusalem will never be a just, comprehensive and permanent solution.

  • Financing Racism and Apartheid

    Financing Racism and Apartheid

    Financing Racism and Apartheid Jewish National Fund’s Violation of International and Domestic Law PALESTINE LAND SOCIETY August 2005 Synopsis The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is a multi-national corporation with offices in about dozen countries world-wide. It receives millions of dollars from wealthy and ordinary Jews around the world and other donors, most of which are tax-exempt contributions. JNF aim is to acquire and develop lands exclusively for the benefit of Jews residing in Israel. The fact is that JNF, in its operations in Israel, had expropriated illegally most of the land of 372 Palestinian villages which had been ethnically cleansed by Zionist forces in 1948. The owners of this land are over half the UN- registered Palestinian refugees. JNF had actively participated in the physical destruction of many villages, in evacuating these villages of their inhabitants and in military operations to conquer these villages. Today JNF controls over 2500 sq.km of Palestinian land which it leases to Jews only. It also planted 100 parks on Palestinian land. In addition, JNF has a long record of discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel as reported by the UN. JNF also extends its operations by proxy or directly to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the West Bank and Gaza. All this is in clear violation of international law and particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention which forbids confiscation of property and settling the Occupiers’ citizens in occupied territories. Ethnic cleansing, expropriation of property and destruction of houses are war crimes. As well, use of tax-exempt donations in these activities violates the domestic law in many countries, where JNF is domiciled.
  • “The Identification of Emmaus”

    “The Identification of Emmaus”

    “The Identification of Emmaus” from Selective Geographical Problems in the Life of Christ, a doctoral dissertation by J. Carl Laney (Dallas Theological Seminary, 1977). The village of Emmaus was the destination of two of Jesus' disciples when they encountered the risen Lord on Resurrection Sunday. As they walked along together this One whom they did not recognize "explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures" (Lk. 24:27). It was not until the evening meal at Emmaus that their eyes were opened and Cleopas and the other disciple realized the identity of their traveling companion. They arose that hour and returned to Jerusalem to report to the eleven their experience on the road to Emmaus and how they recognized Jesus while He was breaking bread (Lk. 24:13-35). The identification of biblical Emmaus would seem at first sight to be relatively simple. Since Emmaus is mentioned only once there are no different texts to be harmonized. Luke 24:13 records that Emmaus was a village 60 stadia (about seven miles) from Jerusalem. The only parallel passage does not mention the name of the locality and records only the appearance to the two disciples "while they were walking along their way to the country," (Mk. 16:12).1 The main problem with Emmaus is that the traditional site, 'Imwas, is 20 miles from Jerusalem whereas the biblical text indicates the place should be found within a seven mile radius of Jerusalem. _______________ 1Though debated, the last twelve verses of Mark are probably authentic. See William R. Farmer, The Last Twelve Verses of Mark (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1974), pp.

Non di questo è fatta la città, ma di relazioni tra le misure del suo spazio e gli avvenimenti del suo passato.” “I could tell you how many steps make up the streets rising like stairways, and the degree of the arcades’ curves, and what kind of zinc scales cover the roofs; but I already know this would be the same as telling you nothing. The city does not consist of this, but of relationships between the measurements of its space and the events of its past.” Italo Calvino, Le città invisibili iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF PLATES ......................................................................................................................... ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...........................................................................................................
