The Cat's Pajamas



At the Nablus Childhood Happiness Center

Joseph Tomb posse

Then

Now


Joseph, of technicolour dreamcoat fame's bone's are buried here they say. Palestinian soldiers guard the site, but they split and Israelis soldiers take control of the area when the settlers come to pray. It's a flashpoint. It stinks of shit, one of the side rooms has been used as a public toilet.

On the street outside some kids showed me there breakdance moves.





Then they took me on a ten minute walk to the "hash-hish" which I later learnt means grass so they could do flips and not get hurt. The Hashhish was in the meridian between four lanes of traffic on the main road outta town.
