8th April 05

I’m in Jerusalem again – this time to visit friends from the states – Jamie and Alisha.

The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) is out in full riot-gear. Apparently Jewish settlers are planning to storm the Dome of the Rock and reclaim it. Obviously, that doesn’t sit well with Muslims.. but it also doesn’t sit well with me.

I’ve never seen the city like this before – with so many police.. it’s eerily quiet – like the calm before the storm.

If the IDF isn’t able to hold the settlers back, and they break through and have physical contact with the Palestinians… word on the street is that another Intifada (uprising) will begin. Everyone is talking about Sunday – that is supposed to be THE day it all goes down.

It’s very strange and surreal.

    walkalongside: Always something to hear firsthand what is happening.  With all the coverage on the Pope’s funeral I sure haven’t heard anything about this.  Trust you will be safe, and praying you will be.5 years ago
