Anyone can translate the Arabic text ?

Using a crappy iphone app and google translate. I can't guarantee any accuracy!  Assuming it's picked up the wrong date.

I`m really jealous, Mr. Peace. Don`t forget to bring your camera! The man himself brings up a show along with a world famous director and there seems to be not much interest in it. Is it the absence of the word print?

I'm really looking forward to this - worth popping over from Ramallah for. I was a volunteer in the London Olympic Opening Ceremony (Industrial Revolution scene) directed by Danny Boyle. Can't wait to see what he (and Riham Issac) are going to pull off in the Walled Off Hotel car park.

I'll photograph the event and post some pictures on here afterwards.

Be there, or be a Dodecahedron.

Is this definitely a one off? Going later in the month and gutted to miss it. Have fun all that are going this weekend though.

I wonder how some of these types of thing go down with the locals? I mean in countries that are much more religious and conservative than ours. Sometimes when using religious subjects and images it might upset some people.

It's interesting that both Muslim and Christian faiths beleive that Mary gave birth in the same way, immaculate conception etc.

Either way I think this whole thing is fantastic and if (although I have no idea the intentions here) it goes some way towards people asking themselves what are they fighting for and to question why they feel negatively it's a good thing.

It’s ok here , I think some people have the misunderstanding it’s a hardline Muslim country , it’s the land division that’s the problem here , mixed faith locals , Christian themes and souvenirs all throughout the souvenir shops in town and Xmas decorations in some shops and most hotels.

I think people presume the issues are religion based.. when its actually politics yet again taking advantage of peoples beliefs and using them against them.

Manger square has a mosque at one end and a church at the other... with gift shops in between and I didnt see any trouble between the 2.

It's not like they will be portraying any images of Mohammed!

i just came back & i can honestly say, i've never been to a country & felt safer, the palestinians are a very humble & tolerant race, which i suppose was the whole idea of getting people to go out there & see for themselves. There are multiple religions side by side with no animosity towards each other, & in manger square there is a giant xmas tree & with santa's everywhere, very strange your perceptions contradicted. I would recommend anyone go, the hotel is amazing, & the whole trip an education, go go go
