Those without entry passes are forced to scramble over barbed-wire fences, risking arrest if caught. Naim Abu Saad, a displaced Palestinian, insists "the political side of it is very horrible. But the people...we want to live together in peace." In front of the Israeli home office, Palestinians wait anxiously for a permit for a stay in Jerusalem. This document unites families and registers children. They are only open for half an hour a day, one Palestinian man in the long queue tells us. So why do they want to stay if it is so difficult to get papers? The health and education systems where they live are terrible, and housing for large families amounts to a small flat. Projects also exist to educate children about violence. If they can learn not to hate their neighbours, there may yet be hope for the volatile Middle East.
