New Jerusalem pedestrian streets


New Jerusalem pedestrian streets

The new city is modern and fashionable, and there's a lot of security too. Lots of automatic weapons, bag checks, plainsclothes officers, rooftop spotters...it's interesting. This is a segregated city, with the Israelis and Palestinians rarely, if ever, crossing into other parts. As neither, I feel very fortunate being able to ride to Israeli buses one day to Masada and then take the Palestinian buses to visit the West Bank on the next.
