Very cold, rainy and gray weather. That’s why there are almost no people on the streets.
The soldiers are also behind shelter
B., Our friend, who lives in front of the House of Contention, says that everything is calm lately, even though the ground floor of this building has been renovated, it seems that there is going to be some shop there, he says.
We will follow this up.
In the Kafisha neighborhood, goods are transferred back-to-back. There is no other way. The checkpoint demands this.
The new announcements in Hebron are about preparing for Purim and election propaganda, which of course reflects their political leanings.
Mofid says that many today will go to the cemetery to honor those murdered by Baruch Goldstein. He adds that they are worried about Netanyahu’s comments. On his visit to the Cave of the Patriarchs a few days ago, he promised to build new settlements for settlers and to build an elevator in the cave.
The checkpoint near the cave is closed.
The Border Guard soldier looks and asks, “Is there a Muslim here? So you can’t get into the area with the car”. It doesn’t help that we say that we always enter and park there. “I need to get permission,” she says, “otherwise they will complain.” We have given up the cold debate and the rain is also wetting us.
According to the amount of buses parked in the cave’s parking are there are many visitors today. Probably many of them have come to honor Baruch Goldstein’s memory.
The garden next to the cave is probably being prepared for Purim. The pergola is already built and the flowers will be planted shortly.
What a beautiful garden there will be in his memory….
