Qalandiya, Anata, Ar-Ram, Wednesday 15.3.2006, a.m.Observers: Rina R., Drora P. (reporting), Yoska M. (driver)This is the day after the action of the IDF in Jericho and there is a complete closure. People who came with permits were sent back, including teachers.Anata. From the east there is much traffic. There are about 8 soldiers at the checkpoint. Two of them are on the hill opposite and they check the people crossing there. The woman soldier is writing randomly and we could not find out exactly whose details were being taken. G. was in charge and received us rudely and harshly. He definitely wanted to show us who is in charge here. We saw behaviour which was really out of the ordinary. One of the passers-by was ordered to identify himself. He refused and began to argue. When he was freed after a short time he began to curse in a Hebrew which was very rich in its repertoire. He cursed when his back was turned to the checkpoint and in a loud voice with no fear. G. promised him that they would meet again next time he passed there and we were chased away. “You are to blame for this. They feel secure when they see you.”Qalandiya.20 cars at the entrance. A number of people tried to open a dialogue with us concerning Israeli democracy as shown in Jericho.The crossings to Israel work while the lights give the tempo to the passage. The orders are in Hebrew and the workers are rude and vulgar in their tone.Rina spoke to Shadi. “There are not enough soldiers who speak Arabic.” The communication with the DCO representative will go only through him, Shadi, and not via the representative present.” Ar-Ram.The movement is slow but steady and there are no detainees.
