The Olive Tree Initiative is hosting a bon voyage party hours before members embark on the UC Irvine group's third journey to the Middle East. Once there, the students will engage with and hear perspectives from Israeli and Palestinian academics, civilians, community leaders and other figures with first-hand knowledge of the conflict. The mission of the journey is for students to gain knowledge beyond what is available in second-hand information and the mainstream media; to hear directly from Israelis and Palestinians about the ongoing conflict; and to share this learning with the on and off campus community.
