B"H
Despite all kinds of defamation of "Machsom Watch", the "Women in Blue & White" give a totally different report about the daily life of Israeli soldiers who serve at various checkpoints (Hebrew: Machsom). It surely cannot be denied that there are cases of humiliation towards the Palestinians. However, these case don't represent the majority and most times the soldiers at the checkpoints show a more than human behaviour.
At a Checkpoint
Foreign tourists traveling to Bethlehem many times complain that they could just pass the checkpoint within minutes whereas the Palestinian population had to wait an hour and was being yelled at by Israeli soldiers. Those tourists complaining obviously underestimate the terror situation in the Middle East. How many times has a Palestinian women or even a child tried to blow himself up or stab a soldier at a one of the checkpoints ? And those cases justify any thorough search and investigation of Palestinians crossing the border to Israel
