Bethlehem Today


Walking along the streets of Bethlehem, I am struck again by the obscene enormity of the Apartheid Wall.

When I spotted this young woman's determined image on that hideous structure, I understood clearly that we cannot remain complacent until the Wall comes down and her freedom is no longer curtailed by this cruel anachronism.
