Abu-Dis, Sawahre Wednesday PM, 27.4.05Observers: Maya BH., Daniela G. (reporting)Sawahre (the Container) – 15:45: A soldier welcomed us with a wave as we approached. Plus minus 10 vehicles in each directions, and for the most part they are waved through without any checking. No pedestrians at all. A bus is apprehended while IDs of several passengers are inspected. Ten minutes and the bus leaves. We do to. Abu-Dis – 16:30: Three relatively cordial soldiers checking the IDs of all those clambering up and down the stones at the former Pishpash. Seeing a mother with a baby in her arms perform the stunt, we decide to follow suit. It is no piece of cake and on the way back we prefer the “long” way through the monastery. At the “new” CP next to the cemetery at Al Ezariya, the soldiers are agreeable and even answer such questions as how many hours a day are they there (“it varies”) and does the fact that a terrorist is supposedly somewhere in Jerusalem have any effect on their CP (“yes”), though we see no sign of that as the soldiers are almost friendly to both us and the Palestinians.
