See if you can tell from these candid photos,
Where are we now?
Will start with an easy one.
Arabic writing on this train,
but those girls and guys are looking at each other.
A quiet time at Jerusalem light rail train on Jaffa Street,
now that is something surprising.
Two traditionally dressed Arab women walking.
Where are we now?
Again on Jaffa Street,
but these are way too easy.
Arab women are always shopping on Jaffa Street.
Now for one a little harder.
Where are we now?
That is a Syrian flag in car window.
Oops, that looks like an Israeli policewoman.
This car was in regular traffic, no road blocks,
but moving so slowly that I had time to take a photo.
These girls look like they would rather be shopping, or perhaps anywhere else.
Nice jacket, it says what?
What kind of barrier is that,
so Where are we now?
On a Jerusalem, Israel street for the Jerusalem Formula One Road Show,
a mixed crowd – Arab and Jewish Israelis, packed in side-by-side wait,
peacefully, so peaceful it was news.
As far from an apartheid scene as you can get.
I often wonder if some “authorities”, “pundits” or “human rights experts”
have ever actually been in Jerusalem, Israel.
Is there another country in the Middle East where women have freedom
to dress as they want, walk freely day and night, hangout with young men,
drive a car and get advanced education?
