NYC City Councilmembers go to Israel, Refuse to Visit Occupied Territories

While there, they were confronted by Jewish anti-occupation activists that urged them to travel to Sheikh Jarrah, which they refused to do. So why are they there, if they are only interested in seeing one half of the situation?
