I see your village on the map:

I call the Ariel Bloc the "giant Israeli middle finger of illegal settlements" - it cuts right in between your village (to the north) and Salfit (to the south).... built on what used to be agricultural lands belonging to your village, Salfit, and other villages in the area.

.... .... ....

:crying::angry:

Yup! Thats my village! :) Hahahahaha yeah my grandfather owns land on the settlement there that they took from him but we have a bunch more inside our village. My grandfather still picks olives from the trees outside the settlement in the circle before ariel. I actually got to go inside Ariel no problems and our whole family also. They didnt stop the van we were in to go inside and see. Wasnt very eye opening at :wacko:

Glad you can still visit your village. It's a very beautiful area of Palestine.
