Est-ce vraiment une question de securite?/ Is it really about security?
Passage non-officiel entre Abus Dis et Jerusalem sous le regard des soldats/ Non-Official crossing between Abud Dis and Jerusalem, under the eyes of Israeli soldiers.
25 Juillet 2005.
Je suis allée de Bethlehem à Jerusalem en passant par Abu Dis. Normalement on devrait être contrôlé. Abu Dis faisant partie de la Cisjordianie est séparé de Jérusalem. Mais je savais que les Palestiniens passent par un passage dans le Mur, un passage « non-officiel » qui peut être fermé à tout moment. En effet le passage est ouvert et les gens passent entre les barreaux du portail. A ma grande surprise, des soldats israéliens sont là mais ils font passer tout le monde, sans contrôle. Un peu plus loin les gens passent aussi facilement par un autre passage….c’est la même chose avec les barrages, les Palestiniens passent par les côtés, ou par les montagnes. Les soldats le savent très bien. Vraiment s’agit-il de sécurité ou de rendre la vie difficile aux Palestiniens ?
ENGLISH
I wanted to go from Bethlehem to Jerusalem through Abu Dis. Abu Dis is located in the West Bank therefore to go from there to Jerusalem you should be controlled by the Israeli soldiers. But I knew that Palestinians were going from Abu Dis to Jerusalem through a unofficial gate in the Wall, at that place the Wall remains unfinished and you have a gate which can be closed at any time. The Israeli soldiers were there but Palestinians were just going through and there was no control. Also I saw some other crossing that Palestinians were using a little bit further. Thus anybody from the West Bank could then enter Jerusalem. It is the same with many checkpoints, Palestinians can avoid them by going through the mountains, sometimes just by walking a few meters away from the checkpoint. The soldiers know it well. So is it really about security or about making life impossible for Palestinians.
