, a Palestinian woman evicted from her home in the Sheikh Jarrah area of East Jerusalem in November 2008 sits with a friend and neighbor in front of a woman wearing a t-shirt that says in Arabic and English, "No To Ethnic Cleansing," during a press conference in the protest tent in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah on 19 May 2009. The Jerusalem Civil Court ruled yesterday that the two Palestinian families living in Sheikh Jarrah must evacuate their homes within two months. As such, the court accepted a petition submitted by the Jewish settler organization Nahalat Shimon International against the Ghawi and Hanun families living there since 1956. The court ruled against the two Palestinian families who argued that the settlers claim is baseless, and that the plot on which they live does not even include the contested land.',700,700);){kind=spacer}
 Uri Maklev of the United Torah Judaism party overlooks the Silwan neighborhood of Arab East Jerusalem from the City of David tourism site on 19 May 2009. A Knesset delegation held a meeting at this site in Silwan to commemorate Jerusalem Day, which is on Thursday, and explicitly support the various building programs underway in East Jerusalem including the parks program for what is called "The Holy Basin." <br />\r\n++++++++++<br />\r\nThis comes the day after the Obama - Netanyahu meeting and I\'d say, watch this space, because Jerusalem is going to become a very hot topic as Israel expands and takes property from Palestinians - the theme of today. Coincidence? I\'d say not.',700,700);)

 and the Jerusalem Cross flag as they make final arrangements in the Kidron valley, below Jerusalem\'s Old City walls May 10, 2009 ahead of the visit of Pope Benedict XVI, who arrives in Israel tomorrow for five days and will deliver a holy mass in the Kidron Valley on May 12.<br />\r\n++++++++++++++<br />\r\nJust happen upon this driving away, and actually shot it from inside my car.',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('Jerusalem Cross','/images/uploaded/up_a9hBBS.jpg','A view of the stage under construction in the Kidron Valley, under the Old City walls of Jerusalem, on 03 May 2009 where Pope Benedict XVI will hold a mass on May 12 during his "pilgrimage" visit to the Middle East. The workers are setting wooden panels that resemble ancient walls, with the center panel containing a Jerusalem cross. The Jerusalem Cross, or the Crusader Cross, was used on the banners given by Pope Urban II for use in the First Crusade, in 1095, with the four smaller crosses believed to symbolize the four corners of the world where Christianity spread from Jerusalem, the center cross.<br />\r\n++++++++++++++++<br />\r\nCaption etiquette: make the caption reveal something that, maybe, everyone does not know. I knew the cross was called the Jerusalem Cross and also referred to as the Crusader Cross, but I wasn\'t entirely sure how or when it got its name, so I looked it up in Wikipedia. One who is a Crusader buff or a Papal expert would, of course, know this tidbit of Middle Ages history. It took five minutes to learn a bit of history that adds a lot to an otherwise pretty boring photograph. The Pope should look good standing behind this cross waving to the faithful........',700,700);)
