on the map of the west bank ("cisjordanie occupée"), the orange represents israeli settlements. these are all more or less off-limits for palestinians. the grey triangles are outpost-type settlements started before 2001; the black triangles outpost-type settlements started since 2001. the yellow squares represent military checkpoints. it should be obvious from this alone that the settlement program is not some "media machine" fiction, but a real, grinding, brutalizing reality that if anything is radically down played in american domestic media.
you could map water supply points on. then things would be clearer still.
i have a meeting, so more later.
