The West Bank and Haifa, Israel 2010

Locals told me Arabs are not allowed to refurbish their homes under Israeli law. Many houses are not in the condition to be lived in. The Arabs I spoke with believe this is another way Israel is forcing Arabs out of their homes.

The marketplace is called "souq."

A lifegaurd tower appears abandoned along the Mediterranean Sea.

Another building that could not be refurbished.

A graveyard in Jerusalem.

The Golden Gate in Jerusalem is said to open when the world ends.
