Bethlehem


I spent all day in Bethlehem, exploring several refugee camps and the Alrowwad Cultural and Theatre Training Camp in the Aida Camp. The children were bright-eyed and friendly, and everyone else was welcoming and helpful.

I got up close to the seperation wall, which often came about 10 meters from Palestinian houses, cutting the family off from the rest of their land.

On the way back, I took a bus back to Jerusalem with my friend. When we were stopped at the checkpoint, everyone in the bus got out and showed their bags and identity cards to the young Israeli soldier, who only spoke to us in Hebrew. He was kurt and methodical. Sometimes, apparently, they won't make you get out of the bus, but we saw that they were making women and children get out and show their ID, so we knew that we would have to also. When we got back into the bus, I asked my friend how often these searches happened. "All the time," he told me.
