An Israeli anti-occupation NGO came under fire Monday for using this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv to offer foreign visitors tours to see “the reality” of military rule over Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel tours are incredible and incorporates from the snow-topped Mount Hermon in the north, a beautiful Mediterranean coastline, bustling towns such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, barren deserts, the Dead Sea – the lowest place on earth, Eilat, the southernmost resort town which has warm weather all year round and of course the unforgettable holy city of Jerusalem.
In February, Adesanya was named Sportsman of the Year at the annual Halberg Awards, the first time the award had be handed to a fighter.

First it was kick boxing, and tours to China where he would often face – and beat – far heavier and more seasoned opponents. The property is not too far away from City Kickboxing and the friends Adesanya trains with, and through whom he says he finds inspiration.
Then Adesanya turned to mixed martial arts with the help of Auckland’s famed City Kickboxing Gym and so far in his career he’s won 18 fights straight, seven of those with the Las Vegas-based UFC, the biggest MMA promotion on the planet.
At the UFC event in Auckland on February 23 three of those fighter-friend won, and lightweights Dan Hooker and Brad Riddell, and flyweight Kai Kara-France have made the trip to Las Vegas to support Adesanya’s first title defence.

Breaking the Silence, which Israel’s right wing has accused of treason, collects and publishes testimony from current and former Israeli soldiers of abuses they say they carried out or witnessed during their service in the occupied Palestinian territories. How right he was.
They’re just happy that I am happy, and they’re always here with me to make sure I’m good. Adesanya also has his family close by his side as he travels the globe, and his parents Femi and Taiwo are here beside him in the fight capital of the world, as their son prepares to grace the biggest stage there is. Close to the New Gate of the Old City.
I just stay in my house and stay with the same close circle of friends I have always had,’ says Adesanya. It’s traditional. We have to carry on that tradition. There’s no electricity and only 500 residents in the Congolese village of Makwatsha, but a longstanding tradition by its womenfolk has turned it almost by accident into a star attraction for Chinese tourists.
A dozen Israelis, civilians and police officers, also were wounded in the knife and gun attacks that authorities in Tel Aviv said were carried out by Palestinians. It is part of a crackdown aimed at reducing Palestinian stabbing, shooting and vehicular attacks that have claimed the lives of 28 Israelis and two Americans since mid-September.
