Back to Day 6 - Bethlehem

We traveled to Bethlehem on Saturday, which meant losing our beloved Aharon and Jamal and going into occupied territory. We drove to the Wall and had to enter via the checkpoint first, followed by a walk through the fence that you see here. The wall is probably at least 12 feet high here and there is the metal grid that separates those going in from those going out. When we went in, it was about 9:00 a.m., so there was pretty much no one entering or exiting. The wall was covered with graffiti such as you see here - a painful reminder of what difficult lives those in the West Bank lead.
