this is your Lucky Day !

the road from Bethlehem to Jerusalem

29 days of Ramadan

i dread Ramadan in Jerusalem !

my words may sound horribly disrespectful to religion or to the city, i am not sure, perhaps to both,

or neither.  Trying to give a pretext, a reason why is it so?

Why is this feeling, increasingly becoming a common one, amongst friends ?

I'd therefore say, its probably the conditions we live in today in Jerusalem which are indeed depressing.

Dalya was talking about how in the past year, in Ramadan, some of the neighbours were calling them kafreen (non believers), because they were Christians, she said,  "these are zu'ran il harah",  (neighbourhood gangs), you find them everywhere, i explained, from Napoli to Jaddeh!
its nevertheless a new disturbing phenomena.

Jerusalem has never been a racist city, except when the Israelis came with their jewishness, attempting to delete everything non jewish.

At the wake of Ramadan, the 1st dawn of the blooming crescent to mark the new Holy month. People who intend to fast, wake up to drink their milk and sip a spoon of honey, to be able to maintain their thirst and hunger during the day; they wake up to pray al fajr at the sound of the muathen,  the Israeli police finds nothing to do except to shoot and kill two young boys, walking around the refugee camp of Qalandai, to

call on people in the camp to wake up for the souhour.

Muatassem Issa Oudwan, a media 3rd year student at al Quds University is one of the boys assassinated at the wake of Ramadan.
