To the Editor:

Yesterday hundreds of Palestinian woman with their children stood in line
in 100 degree heat waiting to pass an Israeli checkpoint to get home before
the curfew time ran out. Israeli soldiers, who could’ve formed more lines to
assist in this inspection sat in chairs laughing and insulting their captive
guests.
One young Palestinian man who talked back was beaten and taken away. To
what end my friend doesn’t know.

The Palestinian men, knowing time was short, allowed the women and
children to go first. An hour later this came to an end. A bomb had gone off
in a college in Jerusalem. Barbed wire gates were hurriedly brought across
the road. No one else would be allowed to go home to Rallama that day.

Every day, while trying to survive, the Palestinian’s land is slowly
being taken from them. Their freedom was robbed long ago.
