Palestinian City: Samaritans and Road

palestinian city: To get there, Israelis drive up a steep, winding road, near ominous red road signs posted by Israel military that warn them against entering the nearby Palestinian city of Nablus, according to Brandon Sun. Palestinians get to the top by driving up a steep, winding road from Nablus on the opposite side of the mountain. But there is a spot on the top of a mountain that connects them both: a village of Samaritans. At the top live about 380 Samaritans. Israelis and Palestinians are locked in continued conflict over land and national identity — currently a yearlong stretch of Palestinian lone-wolf attacks met by often deadly Israeli force. They, and about 420 Samaritans based near Tel Aviv in Israel, comprise one of the world oldest and smallest religious minorities. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
