Fascinating story Balan, I assume this soldier is inundated with requests from BBC reporters and Guardian journalists who can't wait to get his story out in the UK ?

Sorry friend to say it but, he is stationed in the West Bank ,well Judea and Shomron to be precise.Remember those photos of those border gates which B T posted! Well, the press simply can not get through because of the crushing amount of Palestinians pushing to get work.I believe a journalist was almost crushed to death trying,not sure if he was from the Guardian,but since he was not killed, they would not report it

As you know Israel can not allow an incident like that to happen, otherwise the leftist would have a field day.
So the border has less Palestinian workers now as you see.Very quiet ,in fact some guards find time to sleep.
