A Palestinian living in Ayda Refugee Camp, one mile north of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, points to his trees on the other side of the Apartheid Separation Wall.
In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI visited the refugee camp and said, “It’s tragic to see these walls being erected.”
The Palestinian farmer whose hand points toward his fields told us, “Only my eyes can touch the land where I once tended my precious olive trees.” On horizon on top of the hill you can see the red roofs of an illegal Jewish-only settlement with plenty of room to expand into the valley.
