The Green Line

The Green line refers to the border between Israel and the other territories/arab countries. In this case the border between Israel and the West Bank.

Ulpan is going well, from the window of my classroom you can see the Wall. No not the western wall, the concrete wall that seperates the Israeli section of Jerusalem from the West Bank under control of the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization). One of the students in my class is from part of east Jerusalem and was late to class today because of a hold up at a checkpoint. I haven't been following the news but now that I'm in the middle east so close to the action I'm gonna try and stay current on the surrounding political climate.

You can find other maps, but my school is in the little green box. The purple and red line is the border.
