ISRAEL

Ultraorthodox Jews at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem - the wailing place of the Jews representing a portion of the old wall of the Temple of Solomon where the Jews assemble every Friday afternoon to bewail the downfall of the Holy City, kissing the stone wall and watering it with their tears.




...and PALESTINA

"TO EXIST IS TO RESIST" - a Palestinian motto painted on the border wall that separates Palestinian territories from Israel.
