May 25, 2014

Usually the area outside of Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem, Israel’s Old City is busy, day and night it is full of people and activity.

Monday morning Pope Francis is to make a quick visit to the Western Wall.

Tonight the area is closed off, shut tight inside and out.

Other security arrangements are in place.

Many streets are lined with metal barriers.

I lived in the United States, Canada and Australia before moving to Israel in the midst of the Second Lebanon War. For the last ten years, walking the streets of Jerusalem, the scenes I saw every day did not resemble the ones familiar in the Western media. Now I try to share those positive images with the world, what is really happening in Jerusalem, Israel, The Real Jerusalem Streets
