 spreads out for hundreds of meters from the al-Aqsa mosque to the golden Dome of the Rock and further right where there is a wall of buildings and some minarets, and stone arches. Great roof tops, including the double gray domes at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Jewish Quarter, the Moslem and the Christian as well as the Armenian. Lots of churches, suks, and tons of history. A city that never fails to fascinate.',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('Going Home','/images/uploaded/up_sm8JJN.jpg','Palestinian day laborers line up across a lot at the Israeli checkpoint leading from near the West Bank settlement of Modi\'in Illit into the area of Ni\'ilin, both in the West Bank, at the end of their working day on 03 December 2009, as one man kneels in prayers before joining the line. With Israel imposing the 10-month building freeze on West Bank Jewish settlements, many day laborers such as these men could be put out of work.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nI literally stumbled on this with my wife Rina, who shoots for the New York Times, as we were coming back from the West Bank looking, unsuccessfully, for inspectors being blocked as they try to issue "stop work" orders to Jewish settlers building in the West Bank. We found nothing and then came across this \'checkpoint\' from "Israel" but still in the West Bank, and noticed all these workers lined up to return to the West Bank to their village for the weekend. It\'s an exclusive for us (I believe, though hate to use that word, ever!) but we\'ll see who jumps on this and copies our efforts in the days coming. It might not be this crowded until next Thursday - as many Palestinians do not cross over every day to work, but stay on the site and only return on the weekends to their families.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n',700,700);)

 and the other a supporter of the Palestinians right to keep East Jerusalem as an Arab entity, face off inside a home that a group of Jewish settlers were taking over and were removing the Palestinians\' belongings on December 1, 2009 in Sheikh Jarrah in the Eastern part of Jerusalem. The move by the Jewish settlers comes after a court decision and as the EU decides to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of any Palestinian state formed.<br />\r\n++++++++++<br />\r\nI thought it would come to fisti-cuffs, but it did not. The police came and demanded the non-settler\'s ID card, which broke the tension.',700,700);)

 at the fringes of the Gilo \'settlement\' in south Jerusalem on 26 November 2009. The cement wall was placed here years ago to prevent sniper fire from the West Bank from hitting the Jewish homes in Gilo. Israel intends to build an additional 900 housing units in Gilo, which it considers annexed land and part of Jerusalem. Yesterday the Isralei Security Cabinet decided to stop construction in the West Bank for a 10-month period, but this does not include Jerusalem.',700,700);)
 from hitting Jewish homes in Gilo. A bus load of tourists came to this area to look over Bethlehem and the Israeli security wall. <br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nWill the Palestinians return to Peace negotiations after Netanyahu\'s statement yesterday that settlement construction in the West Bank will be suspended for 10-months? If they do return for a meeting, will settlers jeopardize the process by doing some action in Jerusalem, causing Abbas to withdraw from any future meetings, and throwing Netanyahu\'s broad, bold gesture into the dustbin? Big questions....stay tuned friends, as we work this out, slowly.',700,700);)

 put on earphones to hear translations of their joint press conference in Jerusalem on 24 November 2009.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nI\'m not entirely sure, but I think this could be the first press conference that Lieberman has given in this room since taking office 9-10 months ago. He is not entirely comfortable speaking to or with the press.',700,700);)
