Israeli Roadblocks in East Jerusalem

Israel put up checkpoints in Arab East Jerusalem for the first time since 1967.

Israel responded to a growing wave of Palestinian anger and violence by putting up roadblocks in Arab East Jerusalem. It chips away at the image of an undivided city. But Israel is running out of tools to deal with what appear to be spontaneous and random acts of violence which have put Israeli citizens in fear.

Also, a surprising move on gun control in the United States, how to be a dutiful child in China, the price of cheating in the divorce court, and what Playboy's decision to stop publishing pictures of naked women tells us about US society.
