Abu Dis, Container (Wadi Nar), Ras Abu Sbitan (Olive Terminal), Sheikh Saed, Mon 2.2.09, Morning
Mon. Feb. 2nd 2009
6:30 we go to Sheich Saed. The garbage on the hill facing us has grown considerably.
No people come down from the village, we meet a few children who came through. No men women or soldiers to be seen.
Abu Dis
We drive on through mounds of dirt and rubbish
to Abu Dis.
A few BP men and a jeep but no Palestinies to be seen anywhere. So we go on to Zeitun. Here hell broke loose. Men coming out with there belts in their hands telling us it took two hours to get through. We still see a line inside and decide to go in like the Palestiniens and check what is not working . A friendly blue policman tells us there were some problems because some men were fighting and it was because of the queue and that he is there to calm the anger. We follow the line . It took about 10-15 minutes and by then everyone was out. There were a lot of tourist buses waiting for some groups. We drove to Wadi Nar. The trafic jam from Maale Hadumim went down the entire road to the road to Jericho. At Wadi Nar the trafic just went through , so we returned to Jerusalem. |
