"Very well done, I enjoyed the meetings with the Israeli - Arabs and getting another perspective. Thank you!"
G. Abrahams, Sydney, Australia

"The best! A1! From being met at the airport & 'cared for' to the hotel was great. I looked forward to learning more history of the area from Israeli locals like you [Ron Wexler] and the discussions taken from up close with Israeli Arabs.  That was an eye opener each time, but I never changed my mind."

W. Pike, Welsley, MA

"I thought it was mostly very well done. Yaniv [guide] was very well informed and thorough. I wished Daniel [Pipes] would have spoken more as we were traveling on the bus. I thought monk Oliver was a very special person. His love for his fellow man one could see in his eyes. When he spoke it was a delight, I was honored to meet and hear him."
J. Winters, Bellaire, TX

"Really enjoyed hearing Israeli Arabs speak. Got better sense of some of their issues; budget, army service, and land. I enjoyed the travelogue of ancient archeological sites and commentary by Daniel [Pipes], Ron [Wexler] and Yaniv [guide]."
