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.

They straddle many identities and boast a rich history, all of which we explore in this gallery.
