I visited Palestine late July early August of this year (2007) and spent 22 days in Jenin and Ramallah among my family and my friends. This is the first time I spend more than 5 consecutive days in Jenin since 1981. To my surprise, I discovered and realized that I do not know Jenin. Additionally, Ramallah shocked me with its expansion in every and each direction. The last time I was in Ramallah was in October 1998.
This vacation I spent in Palestine changed my perception towards my country; where I always belong. The question I face since I left Palestine in August is: Was there enough investment in people as it was in land ( real estate) ? If the answer is no, then why?
