A woman carrying bags in her right hand, a baby in her left and her two elder children before and behind her was taken out from a vehicle and was sent to the pedestrians' checkpoint. She stumbled slowly towards the other side of the checkpoint. She is one of the many that aren't permitted to pass the checkpoint by vehicle, because their personal status doesn't comply with the rules of the checkpoint.

Eight people taken out of their cab, stood by the side of the checkpoint. Facing them is a soldier with his rifle's barrel pointing at them while their car was being checked by a dog.

The dusty air mixed with gas fumes, fire and smoke. Fire is the only way Palestinians can get rid of garbage piles which the municipality of Jerusalem doesn't remove or handle.

Originally the checkpoint was designed to prevent Israeli drivers (strictly them!) from arriving at Qalandiya and Ramallah and sometime used also to regulate the traffic on road 60 so as to ease the congestion on the road for the settlers, but the checkpoint is also used to train paratroopers. "New soldiers", one of the seniors called them. The ones in training stood on the opposite side of the checkpoint and stop vehicles, they took the passengers out, checked their registrations, rummaged through the vehicle and went on to the next vehicle.

Into the inner vehicle area a twelve year old girl from Jenin was being transferred in an ambulance from the occupied territories. The driver said that her condition requires that she receive instant treatment and an urgent hospitalization. Today the back-to-back transference was performed with no delays, apart for the ones necessary according to the occupational system, moving the child from one stretcher to the other, a meticulous inspection of the escorts' documents and rummaging through bags. "Perhaps today it was quick because you were here", said the driver. No, it wouldn't be right to give us credit for that. It was a matter of luck.

The attacker did not show up but the blue police did. On the road heading down from the checkpoint they open a checkpoint, and they stopped Palestinian vehicles to check their papers and performed a physical inspection on the drivers. When we ask with puzzlement about this inspection they explained that it was a routine activity. We had never witnessed such a routine.

The fruit market located on the Palestinian side of the checkpoint is recovering from the raid, and destruction inflicted on it by the long hand of the occupation. Stands have once again been placed on the sides of the road and on the squares. Fruit are once again piled and a lively and vibrant commerce is taking place once again. Until the next time.

Fourteen year old Mahmud is a victim of life. One night last week he escaped for fear of his violent father, reached the entrance of the checkpoint and threw stones at the construction, attempting to get arrested. The soldiers…arrested him, handcuffed and blindfolded him and took him to the military base at Atarot, during the entire ride they kept slapping him on his head. In Atarot he was interrogated by people dressed as civilians (did they really need GSS people to interrogate this miserable child?), from there he was taken to the Russian Compound in Jerusalem. He was detained for a day or two. Mahmud lost track of time…He remembers sharing a cell with two children who were his age, and that when he was arrested the money he had in his pocket was taken from him. He even admitted with a sorrowful smile and acceptance: "No, it wasn't worth it". (machsomwatch report 08.04.12pm)

An armless man stood and looked over through the fence at a police car. "Stand away from the fence!- don't come near the fence!- don't you understand Hebrew?!..." Two days ago on his way from the Friday prayers at El-Aqsa, a police officer took his ID. Today he returned to get his ID back. "That's him, over there, behind the fence, the man who is missing an arm" We explained to Moti the police officer."He could be also missing a foot", said the BP officer guarding officer Moti. Moti said that they wanted to punish him because his daughter did not have her birth certificate. He suggested that it might be at the police station behind the CP, maybe at the border police base in Atarot, or maybe at the police station in Nave Ilan or perhaps they simply shoved into one of those complaint boxes.
