Csmalligan 18 January 2010, 7:26pm	Hello. I will be going to Israel in April on a tour. It is with a group of American Christians (and although I don't know for sure, I believe it will be quite a conservative group, e.g perhaps leaning towards the Christian Zionist position.) In case you're wondering how I ended up with this group -- I am a US citizen as well as UK and now that I'm retired I am spending a good part of the year in the States. My aunt and cousin on on this tour and have invited me to join them. It seemed such a great opportunity that I did not want to miss it. I would like to make sure I see a balanced picture of the Israeli/Palestinian situation (as much as is possible given the circumstances). Would it possible, and appropriate, to visit a Commitment for Life project or to be given the address of the Christian Palestinian woodworker in Bethlehem who is featured on your webpage. Any advice or suggestions of how I can use this tour as wisely as possible and potentially for the benefit of my church (St Andrew's, Brockley, London) will be very much appreciated.
