This study aims to present the image of Jerusalem in the Palestinian poetry through the poem "The Mirrors, Jerusalem and Negotiations" in the book of poems "We are still being washed by the departure". by the poet, Jamal Salsa'a.1
This study also figures out the self-fragmentation and division regarding its views of the exhausted Jerusalem between both the Israeli occupation on one hand and the freeze and stalemate of bet and negotiation on the other hand. However, the poet relieves this image from its tiring atmospheres through replacing it by a revived, poetic and optimistic image, which is linguistically snatched from the surrounding and direct political atmosphere. That is the fact about Jerusalem which keeps waving to the horses undeterred by the disgusting usurpers.
