After six months in the Middle East, photojournalist Jon Elmer discusses the Gaza 'disengagement' and the shifting dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict with original reportage from on the ground in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and Jerusalem.

Jon Elmer is a Canadian freelance writer and photojournalist specializing in the Middle East. He has researched and reported from the West Bank and Gaza Strip - based in Jenin and Gaza City - during the al-Aqsa intifada [2003], following Israel's "disengagement" from the Gaza Strip (2005), and during the sanctions regime and factional strife (2007).

Jon has photographed in over a dozen countries, including Nepal (1998), the Basques region (2000), Morocco (2000), Israel (2003), Palestine (2003, 2005, 2007), Jordan (2005) and Lebanon (2006). He has also covered 'globalization' summits and accompanying protests throughout North America, including Washington DC, New York, and Quebec City.
