Another settler tour

Today was Saturday, and it meant another settler tour. Although there was a smaller group today than usual, the same show repeated itself as it does every week.

Israeli soldiers lead the front. The guy in the shades kept telling us to "not block". I guess the irony of the fact that they are obstructing movement for the Palestinian residents here was lost on him.

Israeli settler children and Palestinian men in a coffeeshop look at the other. The occupiers and the occupied stare at each other.
God willing one day everyone will be equal here.

This Israeli Border Policewoman did actually a good job in keeping the settler boys under control- a few tried to enter some of the Palestinian shops.
