What is she praying for? Is her loved one at the border of Gaza? Or is she praying that Israel realize what it is doing to the Palestinians?

The older man is the only Arab I see. The rest of the men have their yamaka's on. What is he walking away from at the Wailing Wall? What is he thinking now that Gaza is being obliterated?

Jose Alberto Tavim is having a cup of coffee in East Jerusalem. It is a calm moment. There are no soldiers nearby. We cannot see the wall from where we sit. I had pomegranate juice. It was wonderful. His coffee did not taste good.
