Summary
Village near Nablus used in Chapter 2 of Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, through Michel Awad’s account, as a telling example of how Oslo’s area lines distributed tourist heritage sites into Israeli control (Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, PDF p.86-87).
Details
- Awad: Israel “put the city in Area A, and the heritage sites they put in Area B or C”; “if you are at the entrance to Sebastia, at the site, it’s Area A. If you move two meters, it’s Area C. Two meters! And Palestinians are not allowed to build in Area C” (PDF p.86).
- “People are stealing things in Sebastia, and no one can talk with them because the Palestinian Authority doesn’t have any control” (PDF p.86).
