Video: Machson Watch
As you watch this video keep in mind that the Qalandia checkpoint is not a border crossing between Israel and the West Bank. Like most Israeli checkpoints in the occupied territories, Qalandia is located squarely in Palestinian territory and prevents Palestinians from traveling freely between one Palestinian area to another.
Human beings being totally dehumanized and herded like animals at market.
Fucking disgusting. Completely unnecessary.

israel, treating people like cattle everyday.
I thought I knew about the checkpoints, what they were like in a general sort of way. It turns out that I didn’t.
I can’t tell you how much these images shocked me. I have been following the treatment of the Palestinians quite closely for some years now (at least I thought I had) and I am still shocked by this. How would the general public react if they saw these images on their TV screens?
And what a wry humor all these men waiting in line have… Amazing.
