Afternoon
13:30-16:30
We drove in the afternoon, bathed by a glorious autumn light.
I haven’t been in Hebron or its surroundings for nearly three months, and nothing has changed.
The occupation routine.
Children play outdoors in Hebron, TIPH observers host diplomats, the reconstruction of Palestinian buildings near the Curve 160 checkpoint has progressed, a flag flies on the renovated Tarpat checkpoint and a soldier continues to guard Beit HaMeriva, another on Beit Hadassah.
Giv’at Gal increasingly takes root on Palestinian lands and expands Kiryat Arba, and the possibility of two states for two peoples seems increasingly distant…One state – an apartheid state with different rights for each of the peoples. Sad, disheartening and outrageous.
