Camp Discovery provides a summer camp experience that encourages youth to discover new knowledge, skills, and experiences.

Cooperation?
As far as I am aware, none of these events are publicized for the benefit of a Jew residing in Judea and Samaria, territory under the diplomatic purview of the Consulate, a population ignored as regards cultural, artistic, musical, social, educational, sports or any other similar type of activity.
Nor does any high official visit (except for Political Officers and State Dept. desk officers from Washington) but here is the Consulate-General in Shchem:
and in Hebron:
Think about that when you next celebrate American freedom, independence, liberty and democracy.

seems, i heard, the kosher food was mostly inedible (! cold hard pizza and spaghetti) but there was Ben and Jerry's afterwards (but they are boycotters anyway). There were maybe 1 or 2 "settlers". Mostly the guests were Western-looking Arabs.
Dear Anon. 6:34 -
that's just so silly a comment. no wonder you're anonymous. but i guess without any hate content, you have nothing much else to say.
David - As an American, a Jew, and a lover of Israel, I am disgusted with America's overtures to the "Palestinians." I'm sure that there are Israeli youngsters who could be benefitting from a camp experience. I also wonder how people in Indiana will enjoy having "Palestinian" students in their midst. What a wrong-headed decision for America to take, to side with the "Palestinians" and UNWRA. We're hoping for a change.

The U.S Consulate Jerusalem is the only one of its kind in the world that reports not to the embassy in the home country but directly to the U.S State Department.
Its long been known to Israel's Jews as the de-facto US Embassy to the Palestinian Arabs. What is striking is that even though Jerusalem is an overwhelmingly Jewish city, the U.S Consulate caters exclusively to Arabs in the city and in Judea and Samaria.
It defies political reality. Then again nothing about US policy on Jerusalem is logical or conforms to the realities of the Middle East.
