Holy Fisticuffs.


"While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict naturally garners most of the world's attention here, it's sometimes easy to forget that Jerusalem is considered hallowed ground (and therefore worth fighting over) by a host of overlapping Christian orders -- all constantly struggling for turf rights.
