Birthright Unplugged was designed as a response to the Birthright Israel trips.
The name "Birthright Unplugged" is a spin on the "Birthright Israel" program, whose name and organization are founded upon the idea that Jews have the right to visit their ancestral homeland. The organization runs a second program, Birthright Re-Plugged, which takes Palestinian children on field trips in Israel to see the villages left by their families in 1948.
The Unplugged trip seeks to expose mostly North American people to the Palestinian Arab side of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict through travel and conversations with a range of Palestinian activists. In six days, they visit Palestinian Arab cities, villages and refugee camps in Judea and Samaria and spend time with Palestinian settlers living inside Israel.
The Re-Plugged trip is for Palestinian Arab children living in Palestinian Arab settlements. In two days, they visit Jerusalem, the Mediterranean Sea and what they claim to be the children's ancestral villages.
