The Jerusalem Light Train Geopolitical Tour with Lieutenant-colonel (Reserves) Avi Shalev
Join Lieutenant-colonel (Reserves) Avi Shalev on a walking tour of Jerusalem that follows the Geo-politics footsteps of the Arab-Jewish conflict in Jerusalem over the last 100 years. Lieutenant-colonel (Reserves) Avi Shalev retired following 24 years of service in the Israeli Defense Force in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. He holds an MA degree in Islamic studies and is the author of the book “THE ONLY JEW IN THE ROOM”.
The tour follows the Jerusalem light train stops which run on the pre-1967 border between Jordan and Israel. You will “hop” from station to station using the light train and visit the major stumbling blocks of the Israeli Palestinian conflict: Borders, refugees, holy-religious sites in Jerusalem, mixed Jewish-Arab neighborhoods, settlements and war. The trail of the light train follows the heart of the Arab Israeli conflict!
