Israeli-Palestinian Checkpoints
January 20th, 2007
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an issue I don’t pretend to know much about beyond the vague outlines I see in the news.
But a compelling blog entry, by a 22-year-old man named Elias from Bethlehem, made the issue a little more real for me. I thought you might be interested in a few of the photos he took from the checkpoint that separates Israel from the Palestinian territories.
Even if you understand the need for these kinds of security measures, it’s hard not to sympathize with those people who live everyday in the middle of so much mistrust and violence.
For more details about Elias’ Christmas experience at the Israeli security checkpoint, read his blog.
