Bethlehem and Surroundings, Friday 22.4.05 morningObservers: Ruhama W., Magdalena H., ( reporting) Bethlehem CP 300 nearly empty of people and just two cars waiting to get checked. We met volunteers from an international organization on their way to Hebron. They told us that a member of their group, named Adam, realized that at all CP’s where women from MachsomWatch are present, the behaviour of the soldiers is better and the waiting lines are shorter. Nice to hear! Inside Tantur two soldiers stand and a there are lot of finely dressed Palestian women, with their little children, waiting for the soldiers to leave. We explained to the soldiers that they are not allowed inside this area. They actually left closing the gate provocatively, but not before telling Ruhama, that she has no rights and is insigificant; like an enemy. Opposit Tantur, on the main road another jeep stopped Transits and checked the I.D’s of the passengers and sent people back to CP 300, despite the fact that the Transit was on the way south – outside of Jerusalem – and not inside Jerusalem where the Paletinians are not allowed entery (they were sent to CP 300 because they were illegally present in JErusalem…when in fact they were already out of the city).El- Khadr: A lot transit and traffic action, but no soldiers.Eziyon, at the traffic circle: No CP and no soldiers around Eziyon DCO closed.Wallaj’e CP manned by soldiers, no traffic or other people were seen in the area.
