Jerusalem Still a Fortress of ancient streets and walls
Walter Williams writes from Jerusalem that the city rises atop its own layers of history. Besieged twenty seven times, it retains a medieval fortress visage with gray walls and towers while water runs in a four inch pipe for about 70 000 residents. Beneath the poetic skyline are narrow dirty streets crowded courts and crowded houses often built into enclosing walls. The population is described as fanatical ignorant and selfish yet the familiar biblical landscape persists from Mount of Olives to the arrangements of today as it did in David’s psalms and Jesus’s weeping.
