Or have I missed the mention?

Without turning this into a political discussion, if you want to travel "ethically" to the Middle East then you should just stay home. Israel and the Palestinian Territories are not the place for you.

Actually, I didnt ask for any advice. Nor do I need to be advised on how to make my own judgements. And as you say, you don't know anything about it.

in no way do I even feel like I have a clue of all the intricacies. I don't see any way that the Jesus Trail could go into the Palestinian Territories without there being a lot of problems. It is just too political.

This is your speculation, and is based on guesswork as you admit. The original question is about factual information. Thanks to Yallah who was able to respond factually and in detail on this, though he refers to safety which I did not. His excellent response is an example to those who really need to exercise reason. Unfortunately I could find no reference to the Palestinian NGOs on the website.
I notice that it is assumed that I am talking about safety, which I did not mention at all. It would be better if people would at least try to read what is written.Please? The question is about ethical travel, not safety. That was very clearly stated. And it was a simple question, which only Yallah answered.

The reason you didn't find any reference to Palestinian NGOs is because this is an Israeli group. If you would like a good website with links to Palestinian NGOs and the Nativity Trail, I can get you a good website I found while I was in Palestine.renegadepilgrim said:Caminando said:Actually, I didnt ask for any advice.

No, that's not what I said.
Well, you said you "had no clue".
Yallah said:Hello Again,
Just to clarify, I didn't mention safety in my earlier post to imply that anything about Palestinians or Palestinian territory was unsafe. I just generally wanted to highlight the safety after reading other posters mentioning mine fields, razor wire, large guns, etc. The Galilee is largely rural, and an interesting mosaic of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze, secular people, migrant workers, tourists and pilgrims.
