Elias Chacour is well known in the UK for his book "Blood Brothers". I have travelled here to Ibillin to see the work of Chacour in creating educational facilities for Christians and Muslims.
It took us 3.5 hours to drive from Bethlehem to Ibillin, which is near Haifa in the North of Israel. We are staying in the Pilgrims of Ibillin Guest house on the top floor of the building in the photo.
I should not rave about personal comforts but I have a lovely quiet room with a heater, an en-suite bathroom, hot water, a shower, a desk, and wifi - heaven. We are here for two nights and will then visit some of the sights in Galilee before going into the Jordan Valley on Friday - more about that in due course.
Tomorrow we hope to here the story from Elias Chacour himself - looking forward to that.
