Her brother Adam looked at me with a grin and began to run, a sign that he wanted me to chase him.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYou also have to brush your teeth,\u201d I said and ran after him. He squealed with giggles, until I caught him and brought him to the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cLone!\u201d he yelled in Hebrew. Alone. I gave him the toothbrush. He sucked the toothpaste from the brush and swallowed it, smacking his lips.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cNow it\u2019s Ima\u2019s turn,\u201d I said. I wedged the toothbrush into his mouth. He tried to scream while simultaneously clenching his teeth.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI want to wear the ice cream cone dress,\u201d Forat said. As part of our corona routine, in which every day resembles the previous one, Forat puts on the same dress every morning, which used to be white with pictures of ice cream.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cSweetheart, today we are leaving the house. You need to wear something clean and not torn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIzi maaneh?\u201d Adam asked.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">It was too early in the morning to decipher the speech of a two-and-a-half year old child who speaks three languages. \u201cWhat, my sweet?\u201d I asked him.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIzi maaneh?\u201d Adam asked again. Forat translated: \u201cHe wants to know if Baba is coming with us,\u201d she said. Yiji maaneh means \u201cwill come with us\u201d, in Arabic.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Forat answered him: \u201cNo, Baba won\u2019t come with us because of those bad guys.\u201d It took me a second to realize she meant the soldiers at the checkpoints who allow Israelis but not Palestinians, like her father, to cross.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cDo you mean the soldiers?\u201d I asked her.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYes. They\u2019re bad guys but not bad like the bandits in Morphle and Mila,\u201d she said, referring to the characters in the cartoon she watches in the afternoons, while I put Adam to sleep. \u201cThe bad guys in Morphle and Mila steal the children\u2019s toys, and Officer Freeze has to lock them in a cage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">From the time she began to ask, I had always told Forat that the people who stand at West Bank checkpoints have trouble sharing, and that\u2019s why they let Israelis but not Palestinians cross. I considered initiating a conversation about it but remembered her incredible ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/but-ima-we-re-jews-why-can-t-we-cross-the-checkpoint-1.8329358\">perceive what happens around her<\/a> and come to independent conclusions, which evolve as she receives new information and matures. I decided to continue to listen to how she understands her world, now that Israelis and Palestinians can travel again, but not to the same places.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">For the first time in two months, we were leaving Ramallah, to visit Michael, a close friend from the Israeli city of Holon, his five-year-old daughter Noa and his three-year-old son Itamar. West Bank schools are still closed, and we have no child care on the horizon, but as of early May, the Palestinian police have begun allowing travel into and out of the cities. They still impose a nightly curfew in the twenty percent of the West Bank in which they are allowed to operate, trying to prevent the large gatherings customary for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">I drove with the children to the road that is shared by Palestinians and Israeli settlers, and I saw the red roofed homes of the settlements. I reached the checkpoint that separates the Palestinian village of Naalin from the Israeli settlement of Modiin Ilit, a checkpoint that Palestinians, including Forat\u2019s father, are not allowed to cross. When I travel to Israel or to the parts of the West Bank beyond the checkpoints, I travel with the children alone.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cGood morning,\u201d I said with a smile to the woman whom Forat would consider to be the on-duty Bad Guy, a young security guard from the private security company running the checkpoint.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cGood morning.\u201d She returned my smile and opened the gate. I stopped at the Shilat junction to buy the groceries that had run out during the closure: tofu, organic ketchup for the children, kosher chicken. The grocery store was bursting with people, despite signs ordering shoppers to maintain a two-meter distance. In the crowded rice and legumes aisle, a large woman inadvertently pushed me, and I found myself pressed up against the paunch of an older man, wearing a yarmulke, with a pistol tucked into the waistband of his pants. I wondered when Forat would start to notice the existence of armed settlers, and how I would answer her questions about them. What would Morphle and Mila say?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The visit to Holon was healing, after weeks in which Forat and Adam hadn\u2019t played with any other children. The playgrounds in Ramallah are still closed, but the playground in Holon was open and, except for the mask-wearing \u2013 felt wonderfully normal. Adam ran from the swings to the see-saw and back again, and Forat dragged Noa to the slide, where an imaginary hamster was sick with a life-threatening illness that could only be cured by the magic of two fairy-queens. Again I was struck by how naturally Forat speaks to other children in Hebrew.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYesh dog honaka!\u201d Adam screamed in joy. Yesh=There is. Dog=dog. Honaka=there. Michael, who understands English and Arabic, laughed and led Adam to pet the dog.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">When it was time to leave, Forat asked if Noa could come home with us.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cNot today,\u201d I said. Michael actually visits us in the West Bank, but he doesn\u2019t allow his children to come.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">I reached the outskirts of Ramallah around 7 pm. Palestinian police stood at the entrance but did not yet block people from entering. There was heavy and dangerous traffic on the streets, hungry drivers rushing to their break-fast meals. Osama came out of our apartment to help me with the children and the groceries. We sat in our garden and ate the molochia (mallow leaves with tomato and onion) and rice that Osama had prepared. Neighbors sat above us on their balconies, eating and talking in the dusk.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIma, can I also go back to kindergarten, like Noa?\u201d Forat asked.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cNot yet, sweetheart,\u201d I said. My heart went out to her, a child who loves people so much, closed up in the house for the last two and a half months.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Uncharacteristically, Forat answered me in a soft voice: \u201cI want the virus to end, Ima,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cMe too,\u201d I told her.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>This post was also published at haaretz.com on May 20, 2020:<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/middle-east-news\/leaving-the-west-bank-for-a-foray-into-israel-1.8856949\">https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/middle-east-news\/leaving-the-west-bank-for-a-foray-into-israel-1.8856949<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time after two months of corona-closure, we were leaving the West Bank to visit close friends in the Israeli city of Holon. \u201cForat, brush your teeth so that we can leave,\u201d I begged.
