Photos of life in the West Bank by personal eyewitness accounts.

Welcome to Palestine! An occupied land!

​

The Separation Barrier

Cuts off villages, families, private land,

decimating livelihoods & communities.

Gates & Checkpoints

Palestinians need permits to travel between

towns and cities within their own

territory, even to work their own land!

Military rule!

Over 500 roadblocks within the West Bank.

Israeli soldiers go wherever they want!

Home demolitions!

Palestinians need permits to build anything –

98% of requests are rejected by Israel.

Israel destroys Palestinian

structures built without a permit.

Israeli Settlements

Under International Law these are illegal.

40% of West Bank is allocated to Settlements.

Land is confiscated to build roads and cities

for Israeli Settlers. Settlements are built on

prime arable land with unlimited water

supply, whereas Palestinians are placed

on water rations.

Jerusalem

A divided city with a strong military presence!

Israeli Settlers are permitted to own and

carry guns…Palestinians are not.

Baptisms in the Jordan

Also attract a military presence!

Hebron…a ghost town!

Apartheid is very evident.

Palestinians are not permitted to walk or

drive down some streets whereas

Settler’s can move freely around.
