Outside the tent of the al Kurd family
Ofer Prison situated between Ramallah and the illegal Israeli colony of Giv'at Ze'ev in the West Bank and run by the Israel Prison Service was the scene of a vociferous protest today, the 29th December by Palestinians angered at the kidnapping of their children, youths and adults in the ongoing repression by the Israeli Occupation Forces who detain them in that facility - the anger of Bil'in's contingent was whetted by the recent abduction of the coordinator of the village's Friday weekly protests against the Apartheid Wall; Abdullah Abu Rahma who was subsequently charged with the bizarre, Kafkaesque crime of "possessing arms" (spent tear gas canisters in the villages museum).

Protest Outside the Israeli Prison of Ofer in the West Bank
Gideon Levy writes in today's edition of Haaretz: This highway has told the whole story. They pave a road, expropriate Palestinian land and the High Court of Justice approves the expropriation, in its words, "provided that it is done for the sake of the local population."
Afterwards they prevent the "local population" from using the road, and finally they build a wall with drawings of creeks and meadows so we don't see and don't know that we are driving on an apartheid road, that we are traveling on the axis of evil.
Apartheid? What are you talking about? It's just a freeway to the capital, because that's how we like it best. Going (quickly) along with the occupation and feeling like there is none. That way the highway has fulfilled another secret national wish - that they get out of our faces ...
How many people have asked themselves how it is possible that a road that was paved in the heart of the Land of Palestine has no Palestinians traveling on it? How many have noticed the sign that leads to the "Ofer [army] camp", another whitewashed name for a detention facility or the hundreds of prisoners detained there, some without trial?
