16000 worshipers in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron

More than 16,000 Jews arrived at the Cave of the Patriarchs yesterday as part of the “exceptional days of repentance” event, in which all the halls for Jewish worshipers were opened. The Civil Administration, in coordination with the Palestinian Waqf, divides the days of prayer in the Cave of the Patriarchs. The division is, of course, within a  asymmetrical relationship which is not fairly divided, to say the least. Who is the conqueror and who is the conquered is very clear. The routine life of Palestinians in Area H2 is absolutely unbearable during the days of Jewish exceptionalism.

Today we saw the preparations and Hebron was filled with soldiers

Soldiers were coming down from the antenna hill and in front of them a Palestinian girl was hurrying because she was so  scared as fast as she could.

In the picture: Suddenly we noticed another Israeli flag in the building that we think had been bought.

The settlers theft of the lands of the Palestinians continues and there is no one to stop it.

From whom can we ask for forgiveness for the evils we did, from the Criminal court of the Hague?

    • According to Wye Plantation Accords (1997), Hebron is divided in two: H1 is under Palestinian Authority control, H2 is under Israeli control. In Hebron there are 170,000 Palestinian citizens, 60,000 of them in H2. Between the two areas are permanent checkpoints, manned at all hours, preventing Palestinian movement between them and controlling passage of permit holders such as teachers and schoolchildren. Some 800 Jews live in Avraham Avinu Quarter and Tel Rumeida, on Givat HaAvot and in the wholesale market.

      1. Bet Hameriva CP- manned with a pillbox
