One week in Jerusalem: How Israel treats Muslims vs Jews
Over just one week in Jerusalem, during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, Israel's apartheid state has been clear to see for all. While Jews are free to roam the streets of Jerusalem's Old City, perform religious rituals in the 'Muslim Quarter' and in the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque - all of which is internationally recognised as occupied Palestinian land - Muslim Palestinians are cleared off the street during Jewish holidays, and the Palestinians who always pray at Al-Aqsa are brutally arrested and assaulted.

It’s not only seen as a masterpiece of Victorian literature, but also as an influential work that shaped early Zionist thought. Unusual for its time, the novel includes a character by the name of Mordechai Cohen and follows his journey of self-discovery as well as his deepening relationship with the Jewish community.
