Another day

Tight security around Jerusalem today as voting goes underway for the new mayor. Helicopters and soldiers just about everywhere.

Also same day, the Palestinians recall the death of Yasser Arafat. Photo here shows youth throwing stones at Israeli soldiers in the village of Teqoa (Tuqoa / Toqua) where the prophet Amos was born. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/08/middle_east_enl_1226403198/html/1.stm
And it was poppy day. Some british / australian tourists were wearing them in the streets today. Imagine all the lives lost during that war; the atrocities may have ended but the hatred still lingers.

Am feeling very unwell. Will try to rest now.
