Did either of you see any strong protesting while you were there? It seems from your descriptions that the mood is somewhat mild (relatively speaking).
I have never agreed with the Israelis' ousting of the Palestinians, and agreed even less with their occupation of West Bank. But this occupation seems more like a stalemate at the expense of the Palestinians, than anything else. Did it seem like the Palestinians have given up hope in West Bank, or is it locked down too tight to even think about dissent?
