I have seen both sides and met nice people from both sides and hence, remain neutral.
This conflict still has no ‘solution’ for peace.

The day after I took these pics, life caught me between Israeli soldiers.
And teargas.
Amid a Palestinian funeral-procession ending in chaos around me, below the old-walled tower of Jaffa Gate in December 1989.
There are no photos because an Israeli sergeant threatened to shoot/beat me.
If I did, as I’d raised my camera, I decided not to cos he was just meters-from-me shouting at me – looking mighty-f**ked-off.
Both cultures share super-sacred religious sites near each other, as depicted here, sharing the same surrounds, each with their beautiful and brutal histories barely co-existing.
