Land Information

Cyprus is situated at a strategic crossroads to the continents of Africa, Europe and Asia. It is surrounded by Turkey, Syria, Greece and Egypt. This is a land which is steeped in history, significance and civilisation dating back to very early periods.
Israel, ‘it is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end’ Deut. 11:12.

Introduction

The Levant comprises the areas of Cyprus, Jordan, Syria, Israel and Palestinian Territories. These are areas which have been the target of much conflict and suffering. There is much to know about the past, present and future of the individuals who live in these lands. The historical and age-old conflict sets the context for why and how the saga continues even into the 21st Century. However, this blog will not cover that historical topic. The intention for this blog is not to debate nor to go back to the ancient root of dissension between brothers in Israel. This only stirs up hatred, furthers conflict and opens up argumentative debate. The wound of the past shared histories is still prevalent in the actions of today's warring parties. In this blog, the aim is to produce truth through real life facts, traumas, experiences and stories of individuals who live in these lands and those who travel there. Today these areas share a significantly increasing portion of politics and news. It is the central hot spot for news and conflict. These lands hold both trauma and beauty in their bellies.
