CALM BEFORE THE STORM

NO RHYME OR REASON

ALL I CAN SAY IS HEE HAW

Pictured here: Moving through checkpoints is a hassle for everyone, but if one has an animal in tow, or a bike, or any large baggage, it becomes an added burden. Depending upon the mood of the border police, it can even be impossible.

JUST PENCILS AND PAPER SIR

Pictured here: Border Police stop even young children and check their school bags as they pass through the checkpoints on their way to school. The rights of children are constantly violated in this Occupation.
