Yes, that was the point, but when I read up on Harel's suggestion of Bethlehem, I realised that it would fit the bill well enough. It has a recent history of violence: the IDF invaded it in 2002, in Operation Defensive Shield. Part of the town was annexed to Israel by the construction of the West Bank barrier. On the south side of the town is one of the West Bank's many long-term refugee camps, established in 1949. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
