Jerusalem
Ar-Ram, Qalandiya, 17.7.2005, Monday AMWatchers: Yehudit E, Dina M, Chava Y. (reporting)6.30 we left and got to Ar-Ram at 6.55 where we met Chana B. who had organized a meeting with Zidki from the DCO envelope of Jerusalem.At the checkpoint everything was as usual except for the fact that the dog trainer was there with a dog, and checking some of the cars caused a delay in the passage of others. Also the changing of the guard caused a delay as this happened at the same time. The only outstanding incident was a man whom Zidki dealt with at Yehudit’s request. He had an orange id but was from El Akab (a population which is being handled by the courts, therefore he can enter Jerusalem. His address was checked and he was allowed through.8.05 Qalandiya Pedestrians passed normally and cars took about 20 minutes.Chanah went with Zidki to the checkpoint of Anata and Shuafat. Golan the commander was at Shuafat but the transit was fast even with his barking. At Anata was a captain and two soldiers with a hammer allowing through according to the separation orders: People from the north not allowed to pass and people from Ramallah and Drotza and the neighboring villages allowed.
