		<description><![CDATA[I love these pieces by the New York Times, diary entries from far flung places around the world. This time, Isabel Kershner visits Ghajar for a few hours, a village somewhere around Israel/Lebanon/Syria. It&#8217;s been trampled on, around, through; divided and conquered; and always providing interesting personal identity issues for its inhabitants. Ghajar (pronounced RAH-jar) has a complicated history, adapting to the shifting map of territorial conquests and squeezed between [...]]]></description>
