Summary
Village northeast of Ramallah whose defiant welcome of first intifada tourists is read in Chapter 1 of Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine as Palestinian joy in resistance (Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, PDF p.64-65).
Details
- The anonymous Link diary describes a huge banner at the village entrance: “Welcome to the independent village of al-Mughayer” (PDF p.64).
- Children waved slingshots in greeting rather than warning, flags and pictures of Arafat were posted along the main street, a bus stop had been turned into a Palestinian flag, and the host invited the party “to look at the forest of flags marking the town center” (PDF p.64-65).
