CNN: Birthright Israel vs. Birthright Unplugged
Once again Atika Shubert goes where Ben Wedeman would never go. She compares two different tours of the Holy Land.
Several years ago Hannah Mermelstein and Dunya Alwan began a program called Birthright Unplugged. They took Jews who traveled to Israel for the free “birthright” propaganda trip and opened their eyes to a side of the story they were not seeing.
They then created Birthright Replugged, a program to bring Palestinian children from refugee camps to Jerusalem, the sea and to villages their parents fled in 1948.
