Tayasir, Hamra, Thursday, March 2, 2006, AMObserving and Reporting: Annina K. and Yehudith H. Hamra, 8:30 A morning with many warnings in the area. Four soldiers are manning the CP that is being constructed, with new sections being brought in from time to time. This time, it is concrete huts. Traffic is thin in both directions; the inspection is routine. They get out of the car, stand in line, the driver brings the IDs and they get permission to drive on. Pedestrians pass behind the fence and wait patiently to be inspected. There are no detainees. A shameful routine.09.00: An army vehicle arrives; all the soldiers leave the CP and run toward it; it seems that food has arrived. Everything is left as is, there is no danger, the warnings can also wait… Now they all have sandwiches, their mouths are full, and they come back to do the inspection with food in one hand and the documents for inspection in the other.A soldier comes up to us and asks: who are you? And then when he understands, he offers his insights: “Ah, you’re the ones who love Arabs? I want you to go in there,” he points in the direction of Tubas. “Yalla, go in there and they will change your shape. Go on, go on, we’ll see if you come out … What’s the matter? Don’t you have a home? Are you bored?” All of this while his mouth is full. Then he goes to report to the others what he’s said to us. Tayasir, 10.00 At the CP there are two soldiers. No cars. On the road, a few cars pass us, one of them flying the flag of a group that deals with hunger. We came to the conclusion that we have to come to this CP either early in the morning, or when it is in operation in the afternoon.
