Deir Sharaf, Thu 2.7.09, Morning
8:20 Entry is free, except for Israelis who may enter during the week only with a special permit. On Saturday they may enter freely. Random checks of vehicles leaving – the trunk is opened, ID’s glanced at and then the car is released. Traffic is very heavy; it’s hard to get across the road. A car is detained because the driver’s ID looked as if there was something wrong with it, but he also was only held for 10 minutes.
The soldiers suggested we stand in the shade cast by their blockhouse – there are people in Zion who are just.
