'I am shooting two journalists every day'
Omran Risheq 30 April, 2003
"I am shooting two journalists every day" an Israeli soldier said to me, after he saw my press card at the Hwara checkpoint, outside Nablus, one of the major cities in the West Bank.
Other Palestinians also stuck at the checkpoint later described this soldier to me as one of the worst soldiers they had ever encountered.
He was scary enough that his mere presence would force everyone to form a straight queue as soon as possible in order to be checked and then hopefully allowed permission to cross through.
Being a journalist, I wanted to visit Salem, Dir Al Hatab and Azmout, all villages in Nablus that have been under strict Israeli imposed closure and blockage.
I was hoping to write about their continuous suffering.
After about thirty minutes of waiting under the sun, it was my turn to approach the soldiers who were standing under the shade checking people's Ids.
The soldier, who seemed to be in his twenties, prevented me from entering.
"I can't let you enter," he said to me. "You should have a document stating that you take all responsibility for your safety while in Nablus".
This was the first time that I had heard about such a document.
Therefore, in an attempt to negotiate I suggested that I write on a piece of paper that I take full responsibility for my safety and will sign it for him.
However, my attempt failed and the soldier refused, insisting that this document with proper signatures was necessary.
He would not specify who would be the issuer of such a document.
"Nothing will happen to me.
I am going to very tiny villages around Nablus … I am not here to try to cover a clash" I said in a bid to convince him to let me pass.
But he said that a journalist had just recently been killed in Nablus, adding that the soldiers like to shoot at journalists.
Then he laughed, saying:
"I'm shooting two journalists every day." With this, I found myself forced to leave the checkpoint, forced to brush aside my intentions of writing about these villages virtually cut-off from the world and started to think about my next attempt to cross.
Maybe next time the soldier will not be aware of such a document and will not like to shoot two journalists every day.
Then maybe I will pass.
