Yesterday’s endless shrill of police and ambulance sirens are gone. Today the streets are quiet – almost eerily quiet. The handful of Israelis who dared to take bus 78 into town this morning sat quietly. Most are numb with the thought that yesterday’s casualties, ” … could’ve been me.”
Only one incident so far today – a knife wielding Palestinian taken down at the Damascas gate after rushing a police officer.
In the past, Jerusalem’s Jews and Arabs have freely mingled, ridden the public transit and conducted business together. Now checkpoints are being set up at the entrances to Arab neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem.
