We visited the site
where there had been a reported house occupation on 20 November, the
night we went to the wrong house. This was way high at about the
highest part of the town of Huwarra. It was a beautiful night view.
Being late we had trouble to many the home owners. There is a coffee
shop at the end of the road and the soldiers had forcibly taken a
position on top of it. This position not only over looked the town
but also overlooked where the customers were trying to watch the
football game on TV. Apparently the soldiers were loud and abusive
to the customers and pushed some of them around.

It is worth noting that if what the occupying soldiers wanted was a commnding view of the valley, they could have gotten a better one by going up the settlement/

The occupying
soldiers also stopped and searched every car that drove up to the.
The visit gave an
opportunity to talk with young people who are active. These are
people who wear a keffiyehs knowing they will be stopped and searched
every time they meet an occupying soldier. Yet even these people say
1st they want Israel out of Palestine, but really they
just want to get out, everyone wants to get out. They acknowledge
that this is what Israel wants and say that Israel has made them hate
their own home land.
