• It is more than twenty years since we left the city. This is a serious chunk of time, longer than the years we spent living there. Yet we still think of Jerusalem as our home.

It is our home because it defines us, whether we like it or not.

If humans trafficking generates $32 billion in profits annually, that is still a tiny drop in the ocean of the world economy.
