You will often see that Ramallah is the destination of choice for pro-Israel lobbies(including those from America) to bring foreign government officials when it comes time to visit the Palestinian side, thus appearing to be 'balanced'. But as noted above, Ramallah is hardly an accurate representation of the situation in the Palestinian Territories.
