 in East Jerusalem on 17 August 2008 as he listens to his guide, Daniel Luria (R), Director of the Ateret Cohenim, a group who raises money and purchases buildings so that Jews may settle in predominately Arab East Jerusalem. Huckabee is on a trip to Israel sponsored by Ateret Cohenim called the \'Jerusalem Reclamation Project.\' He will visit the controversial Shepherd\'s Hotel, a property purchased by Ateret Cohenim that caused the Obama administration to voice its concern over replacing the hotel with 20 housing units for Jewish families. Huckabee said the US has taken too harsh a stance against Israel on the issue of settlements and said the US should not \'be telling Jewish people in Israel where they should and should not live.\'',700,700);)

 as he takes part in a mass prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on 12 August 2009 to free abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been held by Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip for over three years. About 1,000 people took part in the prayer, which falls on Shalit\'s 23rd birthday.',700,700);)
 as he walks in front of the West Wall in Jerusalem on 12 August 2009 after placing a small note in the cracks of the ancient stones. Gilad Shalit\'s father Noam (2,R) stands next to Rabbi Israel Lau (R)m, a former Chief Rabbi, at the end of a mass prayer asking for the abducted Israeli solder\'s release from Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip, which was attended by about 1,000 people at the Wall, Judaism\'s holiest site. Tomorrow is Gilad\'s 23rd birthday.<br />\r\n++++++++++<br />\r\nTwenty-five years here and I\'ve finally seen it. maybe PEACE is indeed around the corner. One brave dude! Sort of like the Dylan song goes, ...there\'s something going on here but you dontt know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?',700,700);)

The protest was organized by Rabbis for Human Rights and was held in front of the Hannoun house where her family had lived for generations until a court order evicted her and her family in favor of right-wing Jews who moved in.<br />\r\n++++++<br />\r\nThis issue will be a "Deal breaker," I believe, in the coming year - if the Peace talk ever go forward, something looking very doubtful right now. Keep your eye on settlements and expansion in Jerusalem for keeping any peace talks from starting.',700,700);)

 on 02 August 2009 in the Church of the Nativity as he guides the dignitaries around the ancient church where Jesus Christ was born in the West Bank town of Bethlehem. Palestinians from Syria and Lebanon have traveled to Bethlehem to take part in the first Fatah party convention to be held in some 20 years. It begins on Tuesday and lasts some 4 days. In details leaked to the pres on Saturday the Fatah party plans to oppose recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, will call on its supporters to use civil disobedience in its struggle with Israel, and will consider launching a strategic dialogue with Iran.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nThis should be a very interesting convention. Already security is so tight I could not get inside the building to do some features despite pulling strings. It all has to do with Hamas. Things are a mess. Democracy gone awry. How to patch it up? Big problems. Stay tuned.',700,700);)

. He said, almost with tears in his eyes, that NOW it, the meaning of Tisha B\'Av, hits home in a very personal way. This photo was made around 6 AM, as the sky lightened before sun rise. I put out nine photos on epa - a mini feature, and all were turned around to subscribers. The exposure was .6/sec at f.10 - on a ball head held on a fence.',700,700);)

 listens to a guide explaining the Jordan-Israeli border area at the Allenby Bridge crossing terminal as he visits the area in the Jordan Valley, outside Jericho, in the West Bank on July 28, 2009. The terminal\'s hours are being extended, and Netanyahu said, \'We are not waiting, we are doing. We are opening roadblocks, we are opening ties, we are opening the roads to peace.\' He also said, \'The Palestinian economy is booming partly as a result of what the Palestinians are doing, partly as a result of what we are doing by opening these crossings,\' and added, \'This is the highway for peace.\' Next to Netanyahu is Vice Premier Silvan Shalom.<br />\r\n++++++++++++<br />\r\nHe really did say that about the "superhighway to Peace." The clock has started.',700,700);)

The sign in Hebrew translates to English as, \'Yes to Israeli Independence, No to American Dictation." Tomorrow morning Netanyahu meets US special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, amid increasing tensions over settlements and Jerusalem.',700,700);){kind=spacer}

 as they burst into the bullring in Pamplona during the fourth \'encierro,\' or running-with-the-bulls in the famed Fiesta de San Fermin on July 10, 2009. +++++++++<br />\r\nOne runner was killed in this morning\'s bull run, some 40 meters from where I am positioned. I did not see a thing, until I saw the television replays. Very sad. ',700,700);)
