Eyal checkpoint, Beit Iba, Sunday 10.6.2007, morningObservers; Racheli M. Rachel A. (reporting)Natanya translating.Eyal checkpoint6.30 The parking lot is full of workers and their employers.The checkpoint is open until 5.00. Two posts are open. On the bench in front of the building in the fenced area workers who were not allowed to pass through are sitting. One says that his employer fired him and so his card was cancelled but he has also not been paid. One because of the problem with the finger prints and others do not know why. They are waiting for the DCO to open to find out what has happened. Beit Iba- 8.00 Many cars are waiting but there are hardly any passengers. No one knows why the checkpoint is empty. The university semester has ended. There are no limitations in either direction. Random checking of ids. We sat drinking coffee with the drivers and heard how much it cost to buy a taxi and how much it costs in all directions. Dust and no passengers. We saw no rolling checkpoints anywhere in the area. During the day we accompanied Yehudiet from Yesh Din and Arik Asherman (Rabbis for human rights) to a sympathy call in the village of Haris next to Ariel. That is where Jewish prayergoers destroyed graves in the cemetery. This cemetery is next to what the ultra-orthodox call the grave of Caleb Ben Yafuno or Yehusha Ben Nun. It happened between Thursday and Friday night and was reported through the media and the net. At any rate the head of the council met us at his office with some people of the village. Hard things were said at this meeting about the occupation and what had happened and our efforts to apologise. The ritual of beating and apologising. Those who apologise are ashamed.
