We don’t see soldiers or blue police.Al-EzariyaQuiet. Few taxis and people.The ContainerAn unusual commotion. 4 detained taxis. A long line of cars. The one soldier signaling the vehicles through, checks, stops, goes into the booth, comes out again. In short, everything is handled very slowly. The cars blow their horn, the people detained are angry and turn to us questioning: why do they have to be checked in the morning and now again. We called E.: There is a not so simple security problem, is his response to our asking to speed up passage of the vehicles. The laborers are sometimes asked to go through the turnstiles, sometimes not. To our asking the soldier why the people cannot simply pass, the rude reply was don’t interfere. Oh, well… Every detained vehicle waited for at least half an hour. Cars pass freely in both directions on the road going down to Al-Ezariya.We left at 16:30 when the traffic began moving faster and most of the cars passed without being checked.
