Sleepless in Gaza and Jerusalem
Day 56: Jacob & Genevieve Rock fled the village of Ein Karem, next to Jerusalem, in 1948 when the militant Jewish groups started bombarding it. They ended up a mere few kilometers away in Bethlehem. Do they still remember it and what it was like to live there? Not only do they remember it, but Rock who has a permit to enter Jerusalem, took Ala to show her his grandpa's house from his father's side and that from his mother's side! Meet the Israeli who remembers the Rocks because "she grew me up!" The abandoned mosque above The Virgin Mary's Fountain remains, next to the Monastery just like it was before this village was occupied and its inhabitants dispossessed. In Gaza: Fancy a smoke? Hamas just imposed a new tax on tobacco in Gaza and Nagham is on wanting to write a report on the outcome of the new tax. Mohammed used to smoke 5 Shishas a day when it used to cost 5 shekels at a cafe. Now that it ranges between 7 and 12 Shekels he cut down to two or three Shishas a day!
