Qalandiya,Wednesday,February 22,AMObservers: Nava E., Ruti R., Ronny P. and 2 visitors7.30 Ar-Ram There is a steady stream of people crossing to go to work and children to school.Cars pass in both directions.One of the middle aged women is stopped and her permit from the D.C.O found invalid because there is a police invection. She is sent back to the DCO. We arranged with the woman to find the file number and we shall take it from there and help her to find out what the problem is.There is also a case of a very angry man who works for an American TV station and because he was in a hurry to get to work he took the wrong lane. He had to be taught a lesson and was sent to the end of the “right” lane8.30 Qalandiya terminalThere were not many people passing through. They pass the sign wishing them a pleasant stay at the terminal without noticing it..So maybe they don’t even know that the Israeli authorities actually wish them a pleasant stay at the checkpoint.It’s difficult not to notice the sickening sterility of the place, the 1984 reminiscent feeling when voices and instructions are heard from hidden loudspeakers.,next to it filthy benches and locked toilets.In addition to strengthen the 1984 atmoshphere there is a Palestinian cleaner cleaning the fence between gate 1 and gate 2 and the barking voice of an officer telling off a French music teacher volunteering in Rammalah.Viktoria, our guest decided to paint on the wall here on Friday and with our friend Yukub we went to Ar- Ram to buy paints and brushes.
