Bethlehem, El Khader, EzyonSunday June 11 AM Observers: Sylvia P, Ofra B, Chana A (reporting)6:50 Bethlehem checkpoint: Lots of workers outside, and, shamefully, lots inside. There are three booths open and one of them has a line as far as the eye can see. We call and Roni, the police commander, comes out to speak to us. He is unable to do better he says. This time it is not a matter of man(woman)power but that the computers are out of order. Anyhow, the wait at the most crucial time of the week, the first morning of the new week, is not received lightly by the workers. They come out looking perturbed and angry.7:30 El Khader: A handful of petitioners who get their letters written by Ofra and Sylvia. One of the passersby tells S that his house in El Khader is slated to get destroyed on Tuesday. S. gives him phone numbers to call and get help. 8:30 Ezyon: Not as crowded as the weeks before. The more clement weather also contributes to the more relaxed atmosphere. Or maybe this is deceiving. We get a few requests for help and write letters, listen to stories.
