Patrol yesterday

After spending Sunday night with the Palestinian family on prayer road, we went on a morning patrol before heading back to our apartment. We also went later on a second patrol later that day.

A donkey with a cart on Prayer Road, waiting for his masters to arrive.

Feral dog on the road. Getting anywhere near them is not a good idea, but at the same time they are not known to be aggressive and are afraid of people.

Settler driving by in his car. He began taking photos of us with his phone, so we responded. He told us later he is "concerned" about us.

We asked why, and he told us "you know, the Arabs".

I told him this is actually their country.

Giving us an angry look, he drive away.

Settler graffitti on one of the doors of the school, from many years ago.

On prayer road, like in Tel Rumeida, one can sometimes very easily tell who is Palestinian and who is Israeli. Palestinians are not allowed to drive cars.
