Summary
Palestinian refugee camp near Ramallah and al-Bireh where, in Chapter 1 of Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, Alternative Museum delegates suspected retribution against their hosts after their visit (Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, PDF p.58-59).
Details
- Denson writes that in the first house to host the delegates they met Amel Habid, a sixteen-year-old active in the intifada “who would end up dead just four days after their visit”, and that museum director Rodriguez feared the boy may have been killed in retaliation for welcoming the Americans (PDF p.58).
- Palestinian playwright and delegate Magda Dajani blamed the American “obvious entrance”: “It was such an obvious entrance. We just marched in there, fifteen Westerners” (PDF p.59).
