Damascus Gate
The Damascus Gate is a center that holds the places of worship for Judaism, Christianity and Islam, all in one area, just the way Jerusalem does. The ability for these three religions to coexist side by side is what defines Jerusalem.
East Jerusalem
Beit Hanina is Palestinian territory in what is called "East Jerusalem." While people integrate in Jerusalem, there are many territories that remain very separated

Soliders
The Israeli soldiers are heavily seen throughout Jerusalem and contribute to the atmosphere of the life here.
Wall
Nobody wants war, nobody wants walls. While Jerusalem remains an area of high tension, the overall sentiment is one that promotes peace because everyone just wants to live their normal lives.
Palestinian children
Seeing these beautiful Palestinian children unfortunately facing a wall they are forced to understand at such a young age is a testament to their strength. Yet, they still have smiles on their faces and joy in their souls.
