Two Views From Hebron

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Jewish Press and Jewschool this week offer two very different takes on the situation in Hebron. The Jewish Press article is by a 19-year-old American Jewish seminary student who went to spend the Sabbath with the holy city’s Jewish community. The Jewschool post is written by a young Jew who traveled to Hebron with a group of activists to show solidarity with the city’s Palestinian population.
