一 | JERUSALEM -- It's a far cry from the usual hustle and bustle, so typical of Jerusalem's Old City.The steps of the Damascus Gate have been cleared out. Gone are the fruit and sumac vendors. And inside the Old City: rows and rows of shops have shut down."This is the worst days we've ever seen in our lives. Even when the corona[virus] was here it was better than this," said Adnan Jaffa, who runs the Jaffar Sweets shop. "Because of the war ... the situation. In five minutes we're going to close because there is nothing to do."For those who know the Old City, it's an eerie place to be. Even the Church of the Holy Sepulchre -- where Christ is believed to have been buried and resurrected -- was empty on Sunday but for a handful of worshippers. It felt like we were being given a private tour of one of the world's holiest and most visited sites.Ehab Barakat, who was cycling through the deserted Old City, was one of the few customers out there on the city's streets.Asked about the increasing tensions, he said: "We hope it will be quiet."He added, "This is the time to be united. One."But the latest cycle of violence has come has no surprise, he said."The new government of Israel … you would be stupid if you would not guess what is going to happen. And we are not stupid. We were just waiting for the time.""The people get so tied … like a balloon. With a lot of air inside. And then it will…"His English may have failed him -- but it seemed clear what he meant.Israeli police now stand at the entrance to the Damascus Gate, occasionally searching young men. Orthodox Jews occasionally wander through the Old City to worship at the Western Wall. But there is none of the fervour which people associate with Jerusalem. It's been replaced by a strange quiet.In the words of Abushadi Sinjlawi, another shopkeeper we found closing early for the day, "The city is under lockdown."But away from the eerie quiet and melancholy atmosphere in the Old City, the situation is tense. Jerusalem is said to be the most heavily policed city in the country, and that will likely remain the case as the war in the south rages on.Checkpoints have been set up across East Jerusalem. And videos are spreading online appearing to show the harassment of Palestinians at the hands of the police. Cars are being stopped and searched. There are videos of apparent police beatings. In sporadic, individual incidents where locals have clashed with police, the response appears to have been brute force.Already at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in East Jerusalem and the West Bank since the war broke out -- that's more than the highest ever monthly total since the UN began keeping records in 2005.。 当我们谈论彩票时早已不只是运气和概率每一张彩票背后都是一次公益的出发、一次责任的抵达而每位购彩者正是这叙事的开启者公益是福彩的“出厂设置”福利彩票自诞生之初,就带着公益的基因。我们每一次购彩产生的资金,都会按比例计提公益金,无数细碎善意汇聚成暖流,流向社会各处:从关怀孤寡老人到助学贫困学子,从灾害救援到公共卫生,福利彩票将点滴爱心汇聚成海,流向社会最需要的地方,筑牢公益的根基。责任是福彩的“运行代码”责任不只停留在口号中,更体现在每一次公开透明的运作之中。福利彩票通过严格的管理机制和公益金使用公示,让每一分钱都在阳光下运行。这是一份“看得见的责任”,让你买的每一张彩票,都不只是希望,更是信任。使命让公益“持续在线”福利彩票始终没有忘记为什么出发。在不断拓宽公益边界的过程中,它助力教育、帮扶脱贫、支持医疗、促进文化,真正把公益做进民生里,让每一张彩票,如同社会民生的微小基石,默默为美好生活添砖加瓦。你手中的那张彩票从来不止于一张纸它是你与千里之外某盏灯、某本书、某个笑容之间最温暖的连接一起让惊喜继续发生。
