Video: A glimpse of Palestinians living under occupation in Hebron

Another in Tom Suarez’s series of video glimpses of the occupation. Hebron has been the scene of several alleged knife attacks and also of Israeli killings of Palestinians lately. Note the Palestinian children at the checkpoint and the indiscriminate use of a percussion explosive. Suarez’s recent Bethlehem video was a vivid depiction of the humiliations of military rule.  –Editor

This is of course what happens there SINCE the present disturbances began. Hebron, statistically, was the origin of many of the assailants: stabbers, car ramming also live fire. There is this attitude among Palestinian of disconnecting causes and effects or total disregard to the causality phenomenon in life
In addition, Hebron is a stronghold of Hamas (their associate party is always the one who gets elected there to power) so also a rival of the PA main group – in the context of the eternal interplay among the 3 key entities in this perennial (and macabre) political-violent “games”.

A MID-WINTER EVENING’S MUSICAL INTERLUDE, proudly brought to you by the purveyors of new Über-Xtreme Ziocaine™ Ultra SRTP (Sustained-Release Transdermal Patch): “Let The Good Times Roll!”

Last night I was dreamin’
Dreamed about the H-bomb
Well the bomb a-went off and I was caught
I was the only man on the ground

There was a-thirteen women and only one man in town
Thirteen women and only one man in town
And as funny as it may be
The one and only man in town was me
With thirteen women and me the only man around

I had two girls every morning
Seein’ that I was well fed
And believe-a you me, one sweetened my tea
While another one buttered my bread

Two girls gave me my money
Two girls made me my clothes
And another sweet thing bought me a diamond ring
About forty carats I suppose . . .

. . . I had three girls dancin’ the Mambo
Three girls ballin’ the jack
And-a all-a the rest really did their best
Boy, they sure were a lively pack

I thought I was in heaven
And all of these angels were mine
But I woke up and I ended the dream
‘Cause I had to get to work on time . . .
