I remember from when I was little in the Netherlands (Rotterdam) I lived in a neighborhood whose streets were name “Bethlehem st.” and “Nazareth st.” etc. So this has been around for a long time :)

Hey man,
How is life in Rammallah? It used to be my dream to live there and meet Mahmoud Darwish, I know thats not gonna happen now but do you think that a Jordanian would be allowed a visa? Maybe post about life in Rammalla, that would be nice, I would appreciate any info you have about it….
