Pretty ridiculous (huge understatement) when the checkpoints are fully within Palestinian territory and do not even cross through Israeli land.

There's the true intention of what's going on right there for all to see.

"A documentary that dramatically portrays the meeting of Israeli solders and Palestinians at controversial West Bank security checkpoints. This clip is the second of a series taken from "Land of the Settlers", the acclaimed documentary developed by Chaim Yavin, Israel's premier news anchor.""
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    "In April Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak told U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that Israel had removed 61 of the more than 500 roadblocks and checkpoints in the West Bank "to make life easier for the Palestinians." This followed promises made by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the Annapolis, Maryland, peace talks towards the end of last year, to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that the number of roadblocks in the West Bank would be significantly reduced. However, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported in May that the number of West Bank closure obstacles had risen from 566 to 607 from September last year to the end of April this year."

    looks to me like some dirt poor farmers surrounded by a bunch of psychos...

    pretty sad when people encroach on your lifestyle, and make you wish you had weapons so they would leave you alone...

    interesting how they refer to the settlers as 'militant' ... is there any pro-israeli faction here that would use that word to describe the settlers?
