Morning

A rather strange story - we do not have all the details as one is hesitant to intrude on people's privacy. A car arrived with three people and a child. The one woman was dressed as any middle- aged Palestinian woman with a headdress, a young woman dressed as any young Israeli woman would be dressed, and a Palestinian man. There are five sisters, four of whom are married to Arabs, living with their mother in Neveh Yaakov. One sister is married to a Haredi. The other three are married to Palestinian citizens of Israel. They said that the Harediem had tried to persuade the eldest sister to reconvert, if that is the word, but now they all live peacefully together with no problems. As I wrote, a rather strange case. They want permission for the Palestinian to enter Israel with the older sister, for medical examinations. 

Another rather touching case was a man, practically blind, who asked for help for a friend of his whom he was accompanying and who spoke no Hebrew. That’s the usual problem of prevention. He was told to bring the documents again in two days’ time and get a reply,

 A man has been blacklisted for 20 years though he does not know why. He has two children who have a strange disease. At first, we thought Google was not translating correctly. The one child is in Muqassad hospital but the mother who speaks only Arabic is finding it hard to manage.

 

No photos can describe the waiting room...This DCO is managed so badly. The intrusive music is still being sounded, making it very unpleasant to sit in the waiting area for any length of time. Nor is there a soldier at the window - the Palestinians have to squeeze through the turnstile.  Some Palestinian inside has to go and ask some soldier to open it. This is so symptomatic of Israeli society when these clerks begin to work for Israeli bureaucracy. What happens in Palestine is what is happening in Israel.
