I believe that the tour was enlightening and that they now better understand our narrative,” Fleisher told Arutz Sheva.Their stops included the Beit Menachem overlook in the Tel Rumeda neighborhood, which is linked with the biblical city of Hebron.“The left never bring visitors to this location,” Fleisher said.“From here, you can see that the [Jews] live on one defended street, within a giant and thriving Arab city, most of which Jews are barred from going into—this is, in fact, a Jewish ghetto.” HebronHebron Jewish communityNew York Timesthomas friedmanYishai Fleisher
