APN's daily news review from Israel
Monday February 18, 2019
Quote of the day:
"I am really ashamed. I grew up in Canada and there there is diversity. It isn’t a perfect model, but
it is better than growing in a bubble. In our home, the children learn that there are good and bad people
everywhere in the world, regardless of religious belief, and do not hate or fear the other."

Travel and see first-hand many of the places and areas in Israel
and the West Bank that have an impact on the lives and futures of all Israelis
and Palestinians. All Study Tours include
In addition to the insider access and insight provided by the Israelis,
Palestinians, and others you will meet and converse with, you will have a front
row to the sights, sounds, tastes, and vitality of this special part of the
world. All of it experienced together with a small yet eclectic group of
Americans who enrich and enliven this memorable trip.
Going on the APN Study Tour "was an amazing experience from
every angle...an event of a lifetime. It gave me hope that there is
still very much a chance for peace between Israelis and Palestinians."
One of the two countries to
have signed a peace treaty with Israel, Jordan has an immense stake in
Israeli-Palestinian peace, and serves as a fascinating window into the Arab
world.
The capital of Jordan is a
unique blend of old and new...ultra-modern buildings, hotels, smart
restaurants, art galleries and boutiques, and everywhere there is evidence
of the city's much older past.
The rock-carved rose-red city
is indeed one of the most amazing ancient tourist sites in the World, a
UNESCO world heritage site, and one of the new seven wonders of the World.
