Straight talk from Palestinian journalist


What the West Bank Actually Looks Like -Michael J. Totten

Earlier this year in Jerusalem, Palestinian journalist Khaled Abu Toameh [pictured] told me how much the West Bank surprises visitors:

"The other day someone came for the first time ever to this part of the world, and he called me and asked me to take him to Ramallah....The man was shocked. He said, 'Where are the refugee camps? Where are the mud houses? Where's the poverty?...Look how nice it is.'"
