MANDELBAUM GATE Tn this picture maue
at Christmas time in 1957, a poorly dressed
old woman and young child head for "Man
delbaum Gate" to cross from Israeli into
.loroanian part of the City of Jerusalem.
In the right background, a girl carries a
suitcase with cross chalked on it by men
at check-points. (UPI)
Christmas Is Sad Time
For Small Groupof Arabs
Bv BAY .1. MOLONEY
JERUSALEM, Jordan (UPI)
For millions of Christians the
world over Christmas is a time
of rejoicing, but for a tiny
handful of Arabs H is a period
of brief, sad reunion.
They are the families sepa
rated by the world's forgotten
wall, the Jerusalem wall that
divides the Holy City into its
Jewish and Jordanian sectors.
The wall has been there for 15
years, a jagged barrier of stone
and wire that marks the place
where the fighting stopped be
tween Jew and Arab in 1948.
Only Crossing Point
The wall's only crossing point
Is the Mandclbaum Gate, which
in fact is not a gale at all. The
name comes from the owner of
a house that slond on the spot.
I Today "Mandelbaum Gate" is
only a street crossing, surround
I ed by rubble and stone houses,
festooned with barbed wire and
sandbags and with giant con
crete cones littering the road,
forcing vehicles to creep slowly
forward under the watchful,
tense gaze of Israeli and Jor-
I U-A ,t.Ar-
Udiiiau uuiucL gumua,
All year long the crossing is
closed except to tourists who
may pass through it in either
direction but not both and
tn diplomats and United Nations
officials.
Flows Other Way
Only twice a year, at Christ
mas and at Easter, does the
traffic flow (he other way. On
those two occasions, a carefully
screened and limited number of
Israeli Arabs are permitted to
enter Jordan for just 3fi hours
for tearful reunions with their
families.
Thirty-six hours is not very
long when you have been sepa
rated from a wife, a husband or
a son for 15 years and when
there seems little chance the
separation will ever end.
For many of the reunited
families, Christmas and Easter
are the only times they receive
any news of their loved ones
and, as the years creep on, the
news is all too frequently of
death.
The sad passage through the
Mandelbaum Gale in virtual
silence except for smothered
sobs is in terrible contrast tn
the whole hopeful spirit of
Christmas.
