Israel/Palestine News Fri Sep 24, 2010



Things seem to be heating up, both in the West Bank as Tom J has noted in his diary, and in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan.

A security guard for Jewish settlers in Silwan shot dead 32 year old Samer Sarhan, a father of five. His funeral led to rioting by Palestinians. Daniel Argo talks here about the situation.

You never know what kind of a day you’ve woken up to in this city. Will it be a lazy and serene day, the first day of a vacation that I’ve waited so long for, or a day where the entire city turns into a Kafkaesque story. But perhaps it’s not the city – but the people who live here. So here’s the story: it’s about murder; the police; detainees; missing people; hate; lies and loads of stupidity and folly. In short a typical day in East Jerusalem.
