Mideast Snapshot - Tumbling Wall Edition

Jerusalem Bureau Chief Kevin Flower sent me these pictures, taken yesterday at the Gaza-Egypt border. The two young Palestinian boys in the photo are sitting on the Egyptian side of the wall. Kevin writes the kids charge each person one Israeli Shekel (about 25 US Cents) to climb up the ladder and cross over into Egypt.

Chaos in the border area. (Photos Kevin Flower, January 26th, 2008)
after all the terror of Israel against these children, they are still smiling. this is the message that these children are sending to the world, that we are here and we will stay in our land.If I am an Israeli I will be worried because these are the people that Israel will face in the next 20 years very determined to be free in their country.
