Border Police raids Tel Rumeida neighborhood houses: "To find out how they are"
Today we saw how the Border Police hold house visits at homes of Palestinian families up in Tel Rumeida. The Responsible Officer told me that they do this from time to time, to ascertain whether the Palestinian families have any complaints (!). They come with substantial military presence, as well as with an arabic speaker policeman, accompanied by two policewomen, and they survey the apartments one by one. The rest of the backup power keep guard downstairs.
It’s not a parody… It’s real. This is how the occupation is conducted.
Weather is cold and gloomy today, and the heart is gloomy too.
