Daily Humiliation at Bethlehem Gilo Checkpoint

This was recorded on September 9th 2009. It shows part of the architecture of control that the Israeli state and certain of her citizens have
designed in order to control the movement of the inhabitants of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

great, look forward to seeing you there every morning at 4 am, your passage through at the whim of the security guards. Also, the barrier itself hasn't been the definitive reason for the reduction in suicide bombings. in fact they stopped before the barrier was completed. also, the actions or a number of fanatics does not justify the collective punishment of a people, which is also, under international law, a war crime.

cant be as horrific as hundreds of humans being blown to bits because of suicide bombings.

check points exist everywhere - youll find them in lebanon and in gaza.

Looks fine to me, nothing humiliating.

I was here, also waiting in the dark. Everyone should learn about this horrific procedure that the Palestinians must endure, and it's only one of many.
