Here's a riddle: Name one thing Palestinians and ultra-Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem agree on DAN-CHYI CHUA Hint: It's what's been tearing up the heart of the city for years now.
Crossing the Qalandia Checkpoint into Israel DAN-CHYI CHUA The Separation Wall built unilaterally by Israel has been turned by Palestinians into a canvas to showcase the Jewish state's Most Wanted - past and present.	Letters to the President DAN-CHYI CHUA The rest of the world may consider him a despot or a lunatic, or something in between. For tens of thousands of Iranians though, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad is their salvation.
