I visited Israel and Palestine at the beginning of 2014, and Green Olive Tours provided me with the most eye-opening, yet balanced and truthful tour experience of my life. Fred, the organizer, has roots in the country going back to the last century, and he employs very knowledgeable tour guides who are educated in the political questions and do not forget the ultimate aim: peaceful co-existence of Israelis and Palestinians. I can also highly recommend my friend Mohamad Barakat.
You can become a member of the organization which has certain benefits. . Green Olive Tours has now started a Volunteer Program which gives applicants an opportunity to live and work in communities as English teachers, harvest workers, children care takers, art teachers etc. See http://volunteers.greenolivecollective.com/
Fred also prints interesting contributions of writers in his blog, two of them mine, namely "The Judaization of History" and "The Origin of the Hebrews".
