Era scritto, prima o poi doveva succedere.
Il padre di tutti i conflitti, la crisi infinita, il vaso di Pandora. Era improbabile che non ci mettessi piede, e allo scoccare del mio primo quarto di secolo sembra venuto il momento di introduce on its doorstep. It 'was the land of the Philistines, from which it derives its name, has hosted the exploits of the heroes of three holy books, which have shed blood for thousands of years of associating with their own beliefs, he chronicles in his nearly ten thousand years of history, the cradle of civilization that it has forgotten.
Palestine will be in front of me tomorrow night, assuming that the customs of the airport in Tel Aviv and at the international check-in between Israel and the West Bank we take six hours less than the total planned.
will not be a journey into my style, and basically not be a journey in itself: the goal is to make contact with local organizations and understand the reality of the Palestinian Territories, but for how intense is the program will still be too little time. Eight days from the refugee camps, NGOs, international institutions, and Israeli and Palestinian organizations in order to get the basics in order to develop a project proposal to be submitted at the end of June as a master's thesis here in Milan.
But if the exploration on the wings of curiosity, fibrillation waiting for a departure, albeit partial immersion (we are all fellow students, but often in small groups) in a culture and a new environment are the daily bread of the traveler, then this short excursion in the Middle East gives dignity Travel with a capital.
If in fact as Voltaire claimed not to travel and visit new places but learning to see the world through different eyes, the Palestine thousands of years to teach, and the Israeli-Palestinian scene is the litmus test for any lover of resolution conflicts.
made even more interesting all the candles on the cake after the birthday in Prague last year in the company of Negin, 2010 finds me in celebrating twenty five years of frames in the city par excellence: Yerushalayim Al Quds , Jerusalem.
I hope to soon tell the notes the sidelines of a week that promises to warm from all points of view, I will cross the West Bank from the base camp in Bethlehem, where he lives.
In the meantime, I am going one more night to prepare the backpack for travel, companion of a thousand stories, ready to collect dust still ignored by the wind.
Salaam aleikum, mes amis, Shalom.
