James Harding, editor of the Times of London, said the move was a "big risk but less of a risk than throwing our journalism away."

...under the age of 50, which further inflames Palestinian passions, as does the heavy police presence required to keep order. It's a vicious cycle, says Jerusalem Police Chief Aharon Franco. "No one knows if there is going to be another intifada, but if there is, it will start in Jerusalem." Just like the last one did, in 2000, after the failure of a previous round of U.S.-led peace negotiations. With reporting by Aaron J. Klein in Jerusalem...
