This morning we were to an agricultural gate again (the Attil gate for locals). Nothing happened there. It was closed all the time. When I called the answer was that all gates at the West Bank are closed due to the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur. Sometimes they do this during holidays. One question is: Why didn’t they inform the farmers in advance? My little private theory is that once you have put a group of people behind a barrier it doesn’t feels natural to respect them by giving proper information.

Farmers waiting for nothing. Jeremy (closest) is not a farmer but one of my colleges.
