Jerusalem













"Peace be With You," the sign reads. Sure, Israel, sure. Cue photos of the checkpoints: if you have a permit to work in 48, you have to get up at two or three in the morning to be on-time for work. The Palestinians are packed into these metal cages like animals and stand in line for hours waiting to cross the border. It's very dehumanizing, especially since you can't see the soldiers who ask you to hold up your passport, you just hear a voice. They can hold you however long they want, it depends on their mood.
