More photos

So, here are a few more images from the last month. The first, since it's now Easter week, is of candles burning in th Church of the Holy Sepulchre, on the outside wall of the tiny chapel that allegedly contains the tomb of Christ.
The second is also from Jerusalem and shows posters raising awareness of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey at the beginning of the 20th Century. This is a sensitive topic here, both because Turkey has been one of Israel's big political allies in the region, and because the Armenians have been denied the right to use words like 'Holocaust' for what happened to them. As I write this, I noticed that Robert Fisk has been writing about the subject too, here.
Thirdly, one of Deheishe camp's newer martyrs, a teenager shot last autumn for throwing stones at Israeli soldiers who were demolishing a house.
