It's a smallish and brand new street leading from the southern part of the harbour to Kedem Street (or street nr. sixty), constructed in the area where the Al Adassi home was until the municipality demolished it, some two years ago.

Winter made its presence known this week it rained hard for four or five days and I pulled out my sweaters and coat.

Perhaps the most interesting report was by Lisa Hanania, an Israeli Palestinian from Jaffa, who was educated in Tel Aviv. Hanania's comments on her Palestinian identity provide, I believe, a glimpse to what is in store for Israel, should a two-state solution be implemented. Hanania came to this trip as a Palestinian, though she did not grow up in the occupied territories, not even in the group...
