a guide

lot of people ask us a" guide "of the evening last Friday. We try to accommodate this request uploading some pictures and some data ... while the photo on the right (taken from Henry Scaringi) of the room before the conference ...
Some data

• In 2008, Israel has confiscated or annexed "in fact" more than 3350 km2 of the Palestinian territories in the West Bank with the method of colonies.
• More than 600 Israeli checkpoints prevent the free movement of Palestinians are
• already announced plans to build thousands of new Israeli-only settlements.
• More than 100 colonies and 58 "outposts" have been created illegally in the occupied territories
• Only in East Jerusalem, the process of clonizzazione lead to the creation of 13,000 apartments in the coming years.
• More than 115,000 Palestinians were displaced during the last 40 years due to Israeli occupation in the occupied territories, while 266,442 people in 78 communities are at risk of displacement.
• In the Gaza Strip military operations have caused temporary displacement and forced more than 50,000 people between 2000 and 2004.
• Over 40% Palestinian men were in prison. •
8,403 Palestinians, including women and 293 children and 649 so-called "administrative detainees" are held without trial, exposed to torture and appalling sanitary conditions in detention centers and prisons in Israel.
• There are many cases of Israeli soldiers who were not punished for killing civilians in the Palestinian territories.
The Bypass Road

• The system was created in 1967. Built to support the realization of Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories.
• At the Palestinians were in transit but after the outbreak of the second intifada in September 2000, Israel decided to reduce the freedom of movement of Palestinians, banning the passage on the bypass road, citing security reasons.
• There are 794.79 miles of these roads. The idea was to connect all the settlements with each other, thus facilitating the movement of settlers. Are considered Israeli territory in every respect. Access is protected by soldiers, surrounded by barbed wire and concrete blocks to limit access.

The Oslo accords divided the Palestinian territory in 3 categories.
-A: where Palestinians have full administrative control and security.
-B: where the Palestinians have only administrative control
-C: where all control is in the hands of the Israelis. area C includes the settlements and a network of "bypass roads" that cut a lot of areas A and B by creating actual physical barriers between the territories to Palestinian control.
path

To the side, albeit with an unexplained variation of color, we were able to load the map of our journey, the part closest to the Strip. (We scored in two different colors made the road by car from the one made by bus).

The dead

The record of the conflict has "given" as always, a sad and gruesome account of the dead. Numbers. Behind which they hide suffering and human stories. Numbers which are often contradictory. Today, international observers agree that it could be about 600 people (Palestinians) in Gaza killed during the offensive "molten lead."
