My Sketch: The Western Wall of Jerusalem.
This is also known as the Wailing Wall. For almost 2000 years, the Jews came here to wept for their lost country. Until after the Six Day War when the Jews captured the Old City, then the area came to rest in Jewish hands. Now they prefer to call it Western Wall, as it is the "west" retaining wall of the Temple Mount. The golden round structure on top of the Mount is the Dome of the Rock shrine, a Muslim shrine.
That is the complexity of the situation of Israel. Different faith all mingled up within a tiny area, no wonder there is so such tension there.
我的素描:耶路撒冷的西墙。
这也被称为哭墙。近2000年来,犹太人来到这里为他们失落的国家哭泣。直到六日战争结束后(1967),犹太人占领了旧城,这个地区才重新回到犹太人的手中。现在他们更喜欢称它为西墙,因为它是圣殿山的“西面”挡土墙。圣殿山上的金色圆形结构是圆顶岩石寺,穆斯林的圣地。
这就是以色列局势的复杂性。不同的信仰都混合在一个狭小的区域内,难怪局势是那么的紧张。
