Let us pass it’s time to school.
Even if they are bored or tired
Sick, annoyed or bothered,
They have to wait for hours
In our country
Nothing is expected
Especially those moments when you are OFFENDED
I ask God to bless every single Palestinian who is mad of waiting at checkpoints.
However, this kind of torture will never stop our life from continuing because this kind of challenge makes us more and more insistent to defend our case, may God help us.

WHY?.... as articulated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child'. Today massive numbers of Palestinian children are being arrested and detained by Israeli forces. In the first quarter of 2006 alone, some 350 children were arrested compared to around 700 child arrests in the whole of 2005. 8,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently detained by Israeli authorities, in prisons which major human rights organizations throughout the world.

Facts about my second favourite life fact...the israeli separtaion wall !!!
Wall measures…..
The wall is 8m high, twice the height of the former Berlin wall. Palestinian sources anticipate that it may reach 650km long, more than four times the length of the Berlin wall. On a daily basis 500 bulldozers can be seen working on it – and it is possibly Israel’s largest project to date. The total estimated cost of the wall is more than $1billion
Wall in the international court….
On 9 July 2004, at the request of the United Nations, the International Court of Justice in The Hague issued an Advisory Opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s construction of a wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Court made clear that the construction of the Wall and the settlements were illegal
The Wall is identified by the UN as "the most alarming development in 2003 in the West Bank"
Wall and the green line ………………..
In the summer of 2002, Sharon’s government provoked further controversy when it started building the wall east of the Green Line, near the village of Salim, west of Jenin (the original 1967 armistice line). This means that more Palestinian land is being encroached and more Palestinian people living within the vicinity of the wall will be displaced.
Among the most affected are villages enclosed in what has been proclaimed by Israel as a closed "military area" located between the Barrier and the "Green Line", which demarcated the separation of Israeli and Palestinian territories
Living in between two Walls!!!
The villages of Rummana, Taba and Yanin have been put into a canton and separated from the West Bank and from Israel by two separate walls.
Wall and water resources…
A World Bank report of May 2003 states that the wall will hurt Palestinians immensely. The report claims when the fence is completed.” The report confirms that the wall will strip Palestinians living beside it of access to water resources
Wall and the Palestinian residents
To date, some 300,000 people are currently affected by the land confiscation, tree uprooting and inaccessibility to lands and water due to the caging off of their communities, throughout the northern West Bank, Jerusalem and Bethlehem, with concrete walls and electric fences… It is estimated that as many as 90,000 more could be forced out of their homes in case the construction continues as originally planned
Palestinians above the age of 12 will have to hold a permit to cross it.
Wall and the agriculture….
It separates farmers from their land, it divides families, and cuts businessmen off from their premises. Shepherds have been forced to sell their flocks owing to loss of pasture.
An estimated 100,000 olive trees and 50,000 fruit have been removed already along the first 112km (70 miles) of the wall according to Palestinian environment groups.
That's the piece of the wall that is near my house and that's only a sample of what many Palestinian artists had drawn in the wall as an away to say NO...........

Why do i love chickpoints??!!!
It's always an excuse why i'am late!
Chance to meet plenty of new people...
Chance to meet israeli civilians,,,,most of them in my age are soldiers serving in the melitary service,,,,
Chance to feel important when more than 3 machines are chiking my body cells, burce, books.
A good reminder that my land is still under occupation.
A good reminder of my brothers and sisters who are caged in the Israeli jails,,,
A reminder that all the humans passing through the chickpoint daily mean nothing ,,,absolutly nothing to the israeli people or goverment...
A way to feel that you are living in an abnormal situation in a world that calls itself CIVILIZED !!
A good introduction for the new big JAIL surrounding me and my people; the WALL that's few meters away from my house
so seriously how can anybody hate it.....it's wonderfull!!!
