Holy Mountain
The Museum of the Seam in Jerusalem sits on what was the border between Arab East Jerusalem and Israeli West Jerusalem. Its walls are covered with battle scars and its windows and doors bricked up. The Haram Al-Sharif/Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem, is likewise the scene of many current battles. There is an on-looker who was always in this land, the ibex.... The ascent of the holy mountain - Let us go up to the House of the Lord, says, David in a psalm - is blocked for Muslims and Jews in different ways...The gates of heaven, open and close. It is up to us.
