Qalandiya, Mon 11.1.10, Morning
6:20, we arrive at Qalandia , and hear the horrific noise from the car. The lines are pouring out of the shed and the humanitarien gate is jamed with about 70-80 people.
Children, women with children ,old and sick people, small babies that are being trampled by the adults. Many women with children and babies move to the regular line which seems to move faster even though the pushing is unbearable.
The policeman in charge is crewd, nasty , cynical and we hear from many Palestiniens that whenever he is on duty the situation gets worse and worse. When a woman with a baby
who needs to have blood tests asks him to help her, he answers her " would you like me to lift you up ?" and when Judy asks him if he is not ashamed to answer like that , he tells her to go fuck herself.......that comes from a policmen on duty at the CP to a citizen who thinks he is crewd !
The miserable situation there is a result of nobody giving a dam about what these people have to go through every morning before they can get to school or work. It creates enormous antagonism, already makes them see us as a mean and cruel ruler from age three onward. Even the DCO officer, Tomer , who is usually very helpful was forbiden to talk to us by the policeman.
There just is nobody to understand what this is causing and do something about it.
