Crossing Paths. A Muslim and Jewish women at the Nazareth open market, Israel

The truth is that the front woman jacket has an embroidery along the sleeves and front that matches almost exactly the handbag of the right woman

Thank you Chris, much appreciated. :-)

They are similar yet different, I don’t know about hate, at-least many in Israel want to live peacefully with each other, and as in any country with different religions, groups and ethnicities, there are tensions, violence and heated incidents, for me it is a very peaceful image. Thanks for the complement and comment, much appreciated.

Thanks Sylvia. I agree it is an image with contrasts yet it contain many elements that are shared, even for a fleeting moment. I’m glad you like this image and I really appreciate your continuous support and thoughtful comments.

Thanks John for the comment and complement, much appreciated.

Thanks so much Bonnie. I really enjoyed reading your interpretation to the image and how it relates to the diversity of people in Israel. Very insightful and positive.

Thank you chemis, for the thoughtful comment and observation.

Thank you my dear friend. I’m glad you like it. :-)

Thanks Kate, Much appreciated.

Thank you julie, for the lovely comment. :-)

Thank you Helena, This is the way I tend to see this image, thou I tend more to be an optimist, I see it as people live side by side. It is open to subjective views and how people are conditioned to see a situation and interpret it according to their own beliefs and experiences.
