Jesus Trail Updates SPRING 2018 Dear Hikers! All the Paint Blazes On
Jesus Trail Updates SPRING 2018 Dear hikers! All the paint blazes on the Jesus Trail have been fixed and renewed entirely, as of September 2017. Next maintenance is planned for Feb 2018. All the route in the 2017 edition of “Walking the Jesus Trail” guidebook is up to date. We are still including this file to make it easier to navigate, as it may happen that some blazes become damaged or missing. It also happens that people lose the way while not paying attention to the paint blazes. This is a brief overview of the entire route, and certain locations you should pay special attention to. DAY 1 – Nazareth to Cana 1) Once you get to the top of Nazareth (up the long stairs and then big uphill to the left) you will come to a big street with an observation point, from where you can see the view, and the Zippori National Park on the far hill in front of you. Take a LEFT on the promenade, passing the Mennonite Church (strangely shaped concrete building), and at the next roundabout take the FIRST right. You’ll be walking down the hill, passing a school building on your right. There is another roundabout next to it, take a LEFT there. Continue walking down the street, for some time there will be no houses along it, until you see something which looks like a newly made dirt road going down to your left. Right after it, there is a steep unpaved descent to a parallel street below to the left, which will take you further down the hill in the same direction.

The rupture of 1948 and the ‘ethnic cleansing’ of the Nakba are central to both the Palestinian society of today and Palestinian social history and collective identity. This article explores ways of remembering and commemorating the Nakba. It deals with the issue within the context of Palestinian oral history, ‘social history from below’, narratives of memory and the formation of collective identity. With the history, rights and needs of the Palestinian refugees being excluded from recent Middle East peacemaking efforts and with the failure of both the Israeli state and the international community to acknowledge the Nakba, ‘1948’ as an ‘ethnic cleansing’ continues to underpin the Palestine-Israel conﬂict.
