My friends Hannah and Dunya run an amazing program called Birthright Unplugged and Birthright Replugged. In Unplugged, young Jewish people from the US and Canada take part in the opposite of "Birthright Israel," which is a free 10-day propaganda program to create more immigrants Israel, and instead visit the occupied West Bank of Palestine - talking with Palestinian families, organizations, activists and generally figuring out what they can do as young Jewish folks to end this oppression. Here the group visits Munira's home in Mas'ha which is completely surrounded by the Wall and fence.

In Replugged, they bring children (before the age of when they are issued an Israeli identification card) from West Bank refugee camps to visit three places they will never see again once the Wall is completed and/or they turn 16: Jerusalem and its holy sites, the ocean, and (prior site of) the now-Israeli village their parents or grandparents were forced to leave. Here the children are displaying their photographs of the trip at their exhibit in Balata refugee camp in Nablus.
