GLASSMAN SORB
ers we've met on prior trips. The
restaurants were great as always.
Wherever we went, the Israelis were
warm and thanked us for coming.
They thanked us because there
were few, if any, tourists in
Jerusalem. There were no tourists on
King David Street. We heard that the
King David Hotel had only 30 guests
and the Hilton had only one floor
occupied. There was some pedestrian
traffic on Ben Yehudah Street, but
only 20 percent of the normal flow.
Gone were the Americans, teenagers
and adults, who in prior years
enjoyed the sights and sounds of
summer in Jerusalem.
More telling was the language of the
street. On a past typical summer day
on Ben Yehudah Street, the language
we would hear would be English, as
American Jews strolled the pedestrian
mall and stopped in the stores. This
summer, the only language we heard
on the streets was Hebrew spoken by
Israelis who were on the streets shop-
ping. We could count the number of
Americans on our hands.

Tourist Areas Are Empty
It's a sad situation that we encoun-
tered. As we walked around the city,
the lack of tourists was obvious and
painful. During the week, the Western
Wall Plaza was empty. The shopkeep-
ers are hurting, the taxi drivers are
hurting, the restaurants are hurting
and the people were hurting.
We also believe that, in a small
way, we helped out during this crisis
situation by showing the Israelis that
we support them. It's not enough to
complain about the daunting prob-
lems facing Israel. During this diffi-
cult time, it is incumbent upon all of
us to take action to support Israel.
While the Israelis are on the front-
lines, we cannot abandon them.
Three weeks ago, we felt safe in
Jerusalem. We came home to tell
Americans to visit Israel. Now, with
the bombings over the last few weeks,
the situation there is even more pre-
carious. A reluctance to travel to Israel
now is understandable. We must,
however, remain vigilant on behalf of
Israel. If people are concerned about
traveling to Israel, then we must con-
tinue to show immense support in
other ways. We must show the govern-
ment of the United States, and the rest
of the world, that the Palestinians can-
not break our bonds.
Our prayers and support must be
recommitted to Israel and our broth-
ers and sisters there.
