Abu-Dis

One border policeman stands near the
gas station checking everyone who wants to pass. There are few
people about. Very quiet. At the gate, no one is passing without a
permit. We stand very near to the two BP checking. A young woman
student without a permit asks for our intervention -- to no avail.
But then she speaks again to the BP by herself, and they let her
pass! (She is very attractive and personable.) An older woman
without any ID begged and begged, and finally went through. She
practically kissed them. The three BP who worked with the people
were kind, quiet, pleasant and firm (until they melted).
