It has been the home to priests and prostitutes, poets and spies.
It has been the stage for an improbable flirtation between an
Israeli girl and a Palestinian boy living on opposite sides of the
barbed wire that separated enemy nations. It has even been the
scene of an unsolved international murder. This one-time shepherd's
path between Jerusalem and Bethlehem has been a dividing line for
decades. Arab families called it "al Mantiqa Haram." Jewish
residents knew it as "shetach hefker." In both languages it meant
the same thing: "the Forbidden Area." Peacekeepers that monitored
the steep fault line dubbed it "Barbed Wire Alley." To folks on
either side of the border, it was the same thing: A dangerous
no-man's land separating warring nations and feuding cultures. The
barbed wire came down in 1967. But it was soon supplanted by
evermore formidable cultural, emotional and political barriers
separating Arab and Jew. For nearly two decades, coils of barbed
wire ran right down the middle of what became Assael Street,
marking the fissure between Israeli-controlled West Jerusalem and
Jordanian-controlled East Jerusalem. In a beautiful narrative, A
Street Divided offers a more intimate look at one road at the heart
of the conflict, where inches really do matter.
