(no subject)
large machine guns are strapped around soldiers and guards
casually on laps. smaller ones adorned to the back side like
belts
today i went to the bethlehem. to cross a couple of meters
there is an enormous and impersonal security complex. security barriers
and bomb proof glass, cold metal bars make good neighbors
once you exit israel, except the frequent bulldozer and soldier crossings,
there is the wall. on the palestinian side there is graffiti all over
the wall
my favorite one speaks like this
"woe to he who brings bloodshed to this town"
i went to deheisha, the biggest refugee camp in the bethlehem area
11,000 people in 1 square kilometer
was showed around by a boy named jihad, his named could make ya'll
happy with a lot of jokes. ironic or not. save them though
inside this cultural center kids do art and dance and theatre
has all these old pictures of the british occupation of jerusalem
of the first refugee camps, just tents - the un has since built
on an end note im glad to come home for a lil while
christmas is soon,
one room houses. 25 families used to share one bathroom
13 martyrs in the 1st intifada came from this town
35 in this second
their faces stencils on crumbling walls
posters too
he points to a picture taken 2 months ago, collective punishment
curfew is placed. all men 14-45 gathered up have those white
banded handcuffs, and blind folded
jihad is the 3 from the left. he isnt a suicide bomber
in the cafe they name each table after a place here
he wants to sit in jerusalem because he has never been their
47 villages were depopulated all have come here
his village is a place for barbecues, a national park
nothing like right of return to a field with roasters and tent grounds
he's a refugee stateless, like 2/3rds of all palestinian
his dialogue is one of modern liberation
shows us a house that was bulddozed last october
its being rebuilt, it was a kindergarten too
tommorow ramallah
there is an austrian in the hostel here
he ran away from home at 16 hes much older now
1 day his family told him he couldnt stay out past eleven
the next day he could travel to athens
hes writing a book here, here being jerusalem
