Windows is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization that encourages grass-roots action for peace and justice. As part of our commitment to engaging a wider community, we organize alternative tours and lectures that explore a variety of issues in the region.<\/p>\n
On Saturday we’ll be touring Nablus, home to the largest refugee camp in the West Bank.
