During my visit to Jerusalem this past year I didn't notice the tension since I wasn't allowed to go to the contested areas. I did want to go, but that would have been dangerous in the company that I had. On the way to Masada, there was only 1 checkpoint going both directions but we were not in contested territory.
We were in a private vehicle, but all the buses carried rifled guards.
What does this mean? Well even though I was there and I didn't have media to influence me, I still couldn't get any idea as to how it was since it's the same as not having any idea as to what the reality of life going on in Brooklyn just a mile or two away.
thanks for the clarification of the map legend. I don't speak French.
