⚠️ Warning - If you think to climb this route - check with the Walledooff hotel porter. We have been told that snipers have been placed on the Bethlehem Inn hotel so you might get shot.
What should you do if you are an 'influencer' and you come across injustice?
This is a film attempting to answer this question against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
If you think other people should watch this film - please share it!
I often see climbers getting paid to go to places of conflict supported by tourist-boards and governments with human rights abuses/insane misogyny/political oppression etc.. It bothers me that these influential climbers shirk what feels like a moral responsibility to acknowledge the reality of life in the places they visit - rather than simply support the narrative of 'everything is ok here' which their paymasters need to maintain their position of power and influence within the international community.
The lastest in the story of Israel & Palestine story is that a Trump-emboldened Netanyahu promises to annexe land in the Westbank. If he wins the election this week, things could get much worse for Palestinians, the international reputation of Israel and probably also for the young Israeli conscripts who are forced to do much of the dirty work.
