Israeli-Palestinian Conflict & Refugees Internship

It was a powerful and eye opening experience for me. It helped me understand the reality of daily life in the West Bank beyond what I had read in the news. In Hebron and Halhul, we met inspiring activists and local organizations working in human rights and community support. Listening to their stories made the situation feel very real and personal. One of the most impactful visits was to Masafer Yatta, where I saw the threats families face from nearby settlers. It was difficult to witness, but important to see the reality on the ground. This internship gave me deeper knowledge, perspective, and respect for the resilience of the Palestinian people. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the conflict from a human perspective.

My experience with Go Palestine was incredibly rewarding as it was my first time in the region and they made me feel so welcome. Prior to arriving, I was concerned about safety but that feeling quickly left as I was consistent greeted with kindness and care. As for my specific internship, I witnessed and learned quite a lot about the experiences and day-to-day life of Palestinians in the West Bank. I visited refugee camps and how conflict is impacting the lives of those who are displaced. I visited multiple organizations that are working to stabilize and improve their communities. I gained so much insight into what is happening and I highly suggest for anyone to do the same! You won't regret it!

Hi! I'm Sutton, a student from Australia. My three weeks in Palestine were very informative and helped me understand the conflict and refugee situation better. I learned the Palestinian dialect with the help of my patient teacher, Mr. Muhammad, which helped me connect with the people in Hebron. Staying with a host family was another great experience, they were so kind and taught me a lot about their culture and daily life. Visiting refugee camps was both sad and inspiring. It showed me the challenges people face and their amazing strength. This experience gave me new insights, important connections, and a better understanding of global issues. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn and make a difference.
