Jerusalem

I particularly liked this reading, it was very illustrative in describing Jerusalem from many perspectives. One sentence in this reading stood out for me. “When a child goes outside and sees a tree, he knows that the tree bears fruit and leaves, right? When he sees a solider, he knows very well what the solider does…searches and beatings” (Alcalay 58). I wonder if this is still the case these days. I also liked the two Palestinian poems from the reading. Those were also very desriptive.
