Need I say how bitterly cold it was today at the DCO. And need I say that there was no heating in the waiting room. Take into account that we were  only there for a short time. But many of those who come there are there for hours. And needless to say that the clerks of the IDF are snug and warm in their offices.

A man was waiting for his wife to renew her magnetic card. She has an appointment  in Jerusalem for an operation. For some reason there was a problem with her fingerprints. We gave him Sylvia’s phone number and also that of the Association of Civil Rights in Israel but just before we left he said that with the help of the PA the problem had been solved.

A man had brought in two young boys to be interrogated but all the others were for the magnetic card. 

Fined 4000  shekel, a man who had been working illegally in Israel…..he had only managed to work a week before he was  caught.
