Ramallah proudly flies the flag of Palestine.
As many Palestinian Americans have moved back home and live here, there are lots
of American accents. The city of 340,000 people sits at about 3,000 feet above sea level.
Its name means “God's Mountain.” As it lacks the trouble-causing religious sites—and is
more liberal and cosmopolitan than other Palestinian cities—I found it the most relaxed
place in the country.
