Palestinians are forbidden to drive in Area H1, which includes the Jewish settlement, under Israel’s
security control – except for 28 Palestinians who have authorizations.
This week our friend B. joined the select group. “For twenty years I haven’t been able to park next to
my house,” he tells me, tears glinting in his eyes. He’s worried about the neighboring settlers in Beit
HaMeriva who are renovating the lower floor. He energetically cleans his new car.
A dear man, a Palestinian, tells us he’s been waiting months for a vehicle authorization.
Palestinians cluster around us. They’ve come out to warm themselves in the sun. Many of them have
been blacklisted by the Shabak. Our hearts sink in anger and frustration in the face of these injustices.
All of them.
