This is what we do for fun in Maale Adumim

The title is a bit of an exaggeration, but........

So, I admit, I was a bit bored and went to a website that I do not agree with, at all, to say the least - Peace Now.

I saw that they were recruiting people to essentially spy on "settlements". So I volunteered.

Here is the email that I received from them -

"I was away for a few days and only now do i get to see your email.
Thank you very much for your kind offer. we would be very happy for any help and information on any settlement in the West Bank.
i don't know what you had in mind as to be part of the settlement watch for Maale Adumim (do you mean you want to make a research on construction, funding, planning, social issues etc.), or do you want to follow things on the ground? or else?

I would be very happy to hear from you.

All the best,

I had some funny responses in mind. If you have any good ideas for me, I would love to hear them.

I was particularly thinking about ratting out some of the kids in Amitai's gan. They are defiantly in the Colonialist-Racist-Occupier type mold.

Anyhow, this is that happens if you don't watch TV for 3 months (we have not gotten around to hooking ours up yet).

I hope to be taking more pictures of Maale Adumim this week or next week. I probably will go to 06 and 07 and post the pictures on the MA website.
I wonder if we should let them know. I can send you a report of what I did and / or you can spy on me. I may also do some shopping in the mall this week. Maybe you can let them know what I bought.
We can get very creative here.....

You could be very creative with this, that's what people on your side of the green line do all day, is plot how to continue to oppress the lives of the poor palestinians and continue the occupation. go for it!
