Witnessing a Jerusalem bombing
Both Arabs and Israelis point to bullet holes in Old City walls, each one a testament to a war, a skirmish, a killing. These holes are never filled; they are preserved as monuments to deaths gone by.
A Friday in the Old City of Jerusalem: March 11, 2011
As all three faiths are set in motion simultaneously, Friday makes a very special day to visit the Old City. Muslims from Jerusalem and the West Bank travel to Al-Aqsa mosque for Friday prayers, just as the church bells begin to chime. As the Muslims leave after prayer, they encounter Jewish residents of the Old City rushing to do last minute shopping before the Shabbat, which begins at sundown.
