Today 5 years ago I was in Hebron, Palestine. I spent there a couple of days at a AirBnb. The story is quite fascinating and I recorded audio while talking to many local people there.
Many different things happened during my stay which you can hear about in the podcast episode. From the bus driver who drove me there from Jerusalem not wanting to let me go out because he feared for my safety then two 10 years old trying mug me while other teenagers escorting me to the military checkpoint. My confusion about the maps of palestine and Israel and explanations of it. I also visited a family who’s house has been bulldozered by the #IDF several times and they kept rebuilding it. Their son just married the weekend before and on the way to the wedding the IDF stopped him and harassed him to give them money so they’d let him go to his wedding. Anyway there is much more in there than I can mention here.

I also recorded a half an hour video back then walking around in the old city, you can watch it while you listen to the podcast: https://tube.jeena.net/w/3FhHLhdfxHpEJGdGPTA3uA
