A08095-10.jpgSome 400 Israeli settlers, protected by 5,000 Israeli soldiers, have used intimidation and violence to drive Palestinian shopkeepers from the center of the ancient city of Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank.

Although several dozen U.N.-related international monitors document the violence, little has changed in recent months, and many businesses have closed and their owners have moved away. Many claim that is the ultimate goal of the settlers, who believe that they have a divine right to the land around Hebron.

Christians are a diminishing minority in the Holy Land; many have emmigrated abroad to escape violence and the economic hardships imposed upon Palestinians by the Israeli occupation.
A08096-04.jpgThe Dome of the Rock, the third holiest site for Islam, sits at the center of a controversy in Jerusalem. Jewish activists have complained that only Muslims are admitted, and are demanding the right to enter the area, which is also considered holy by many Jews. The 2000 visit of now Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to the Al Aqsa mosque helped provoke the second intifada, or popular uprising, among Palestinians.

"This was our house," say Nuha and Nada Mujermi, who lost everything when a military bulldozer razed their home during the battle. "We were hiding next door with 17 people in one room…for eight days. The soldiers were on the roof above us. Anyone who went out would be shot – young or old." says Nuha. As the siege wore on, children in the group called out to the soldiers that they were hungry and the soldiers threw them biscuits.

A08099-04.jpgJenin camp

The 13,000 inhabitants of Jenin's refugee 'camp' are originally from 58 villages in what is now Israel. They sought refuge here when Palestine was partitioned in 1948. The thousands whose homes here were destroyed in April are refugees again, 54 years later.
A08099-05.jpgJenin camp

On the perimeter of the battlefield, holes punched by rockets or armored bulldozers have opened homes up like doll houses.
This battle scars every family in Jenin in some way, like 18 months of conflict affect every family in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. Nearly half the Palestinian population now lives below the poverty line. Per capita income has fallen by one-third since the current cycle of violence began 18 months ago.

In a show of defiance and patriotism, flags fly over the rubble of Jenin's refugee camp and a tent in the Palestinian national colors is pitched on a tilting slab of concrete. But the rubble itself speaks louder than political symbols. Jenin is a monument to the futility of seeking security through ever-harsher reprisals. The mood at this scene of devastation is a warning that violence will end only when there are hard and equitable compromises over the competing national claims between Israel and Palestine.
