Summary: At Bethlehem even German and Polish men came out with their belts in their hands. Was that an effort to find out whether they had been circumcised?
9:00 Bethlehem: At the Bethlehem checkpoint only one booth was open. We thought it would be deserted because of the closure, but some Palestinians did pass and amongst them were also tourists. When we arrived a group of tourists from India came out. Later a large group of German tourists also arrived; their guide was a German who spoke Hebrew. All the men came out with their belt in their hands, we usually see only Palestinians coming out like that. A group of Polish arrived, they too were arranging their belts as they passed the checkpoint.
