hey all,

a 60 year old man walking down the hebron road this evening was shot dead in the street. the ambulance trying to collect him was delayed whilst the idf confiscated his id card. i can't help wondering whether he was the old guy i saw walking down the street earlier in the afternoon, given that there were very, very few people outside today. curfew was lifted in beit jala only, so now opportunities for the rest of the city to acquire food and other supplies.

possibly this was because the idf are cooking something up round by the still-besieged church of the nativity, where they cleverly managed to shoot a monk this morning. a big fat white idf blimp was hovering over it most of the afternoon, or rather two, as the first got shot down after an hour or so. ha. but there is a general worry that the israelis will seriously fuck over the muqada and the church of the nativity because they need to break these two stalemates before colin powell turns up to play hero on friday, once he's finished sunning himself in morocco. according to neta, the tanks are lining up on the front of the muqada at the moment and there has been shelling at it since the afternoon.

some of the internationals got into nablus, and the reports we've had from them include people being buried in the rubble of their homes, men being held for four days and then released into the curfew and shot at, soldiers laughing as a woman miscarried after being denied medical care for some time. the internationals have been riding red crescent ambulances despite being warned that they would be shot at. reports from ramallah also describe the trauma of children seeing their houses covered in shit after being taken over by soldiers and trashed.

and a member of the israeli government has declared that the people trapped in the nativity church should be gassed and the refugee camps should just be aerial bombed...

good night and sweet dreams.
