Hasbara and Krav Maga

Today we started our first full day of the trip. We stayed in the Old City and heard from a few speakers. We had classes about communicating for Israel and how to educate poeple about the current situation in Israel. We learnt about the history of the land of Israel and its importance to Jews, Christians and Muslims. Lastly we were taught about the Palestinian media, and how they teach hatered through TV, schoolbooks, etc. In between the classes - around lunch and dinnertime, we had some time on our own to walk around the Old City and be tourists.

After dinner we had a demonstrative class of Krav Maga - Israeli self defense. We were taught what to do in certain situations when being attacked. It was a very interesting class, and one none of us will forget!
