Day 2: Jerusalem and Beer Sheva

Sunday, August 14th
I shot this morning at the Western Wall again, where there were hundreds, if not thousands of Jews praying. It was not dangerous as had been mentioned. Muslims below the age 45 were not allowed entrance to the old city today. At one of the entrances, two men (Muslims I suppose) quietly argued with the military at a check point while I walked right past them into the old city. I understand the need for Israeli security, but it is uncomfortable for me to see such discrimination.

I just got to Beer Sheva late in the day which is about a 1/2 hour from the southern part of Gaza. Early tomorrow I plan to travel to the border crossing. It has been another long day, and I'm getting very tired. It's pretty quiet here, and the town looks very dirty and run down, hopefully I can find something good to eat before getting some rest.
