Prayer Road

Friday is an interesting day in Hebron. During the afternoon, Border Police stops and frisks and harasses the Palestinian Muslims who are on their way to pray at the Ibrahimi Mosque.
During the evening, it is the settlers' turn to worship. They go down to the Synagogue (same building as the Ibrahimi Mosque) to pray, and the next day is Shabbat.

There is nothing wrong of course with worship in a synagogue, or in church, or in a mosque. Like Islam and Christianity, Judaism teaches to worship God. Like Christianity and Islam, Judaism also commands its followers to treat others well- something that most Jews around the world do but the Israeli settlers and military don't.

As the settlers come down to the Synagogue from Kiryat Arba, the Israeli army spreads out its soldiers across the area they will be walking... which is in Palestinian neighbourhoods. Internationals call this the "prayer road". Standing alongside the road, the Israeli soldiers are well armed, and ready to shoot.
Palestinians at this time often ask internationals to monitor the area, since the settlers sometimes can get aggressive and start problems, and the army isn't exactly a neutral force here.
We hung out that night observing, then slept in a Palestinian home, with a family that asked for protection in case the settlers or army began to victimize them.
We stayed at their place. Fortunately, there were no problems. Some of the settlers were clearly unhappy to see us and looked at us angrily, but that was about it.
