Beit Iba, Monday, 21.11.05, PMObservers: Yona A., Ziona S. (reporting)Guests: Irit, Niba B.16:25A line of about 13 vehicles at the entrance to Nablus. They are checked efficiently, both at the entrance and the exit. The soldiers at the pedestrian checkpoint are polite, and there is flowing traffic.17:40A moveable roadblock at Jit Junction on road #55. 5 vehicles are waiting. At the checkpoint going from Araba to Azzun there was an interesting sign whose significance was not clear to us. Here is the translation which we got from one of the soldiers: “Commercial vehicle” = “Palestinian vehicle”“Private Israeli car” = “Israeli Arabs”“Vehicle with permit” = “Israeli Jews”
