The Samaritans, a small ethno-religious group that lives primarily in the West Bank, comprise a unique community. Both Palestinian and Israeli, the Samaritans primarily reside just above the West Bank city of Nablus, in Mount Gerizim. In an area where Jewish residents live in gated communities and operate on separate roads and infrastructure from Palestinians, the Samaritans, by contrast, engage in Palestinian society, often studying in Palestinian schools and working in Palestinian businesses. They straddle many identities and boast a rich history, all of which we explore in this gallery.
