Qalandiya, 20.2.2006, Monday, AMObservers: Ronnie I. Hanah B. and four visitors from Canada. Routine, no lines and the cars pass quickly with about 5 minutes to a car. No detainees and everything still horrible and impossible to understand. So the sign was taken down, no shouting over the loudspeakers and no detainees, but is this the way we are planning our future? Is this the message? Enclosures which remind us of slaughter houses.An ambulance driver turns Ronnie and asks if we are surprised at the ascent of the Hamas to power…and he gave his opinion that the checkpoints are the fathers of all evil and that they will still bring the Jihad to power. We could not argue….that is the truth.
