The spider, the road and the occupation | | Yitzhak Laor - Haaretz - What does Israeli logic say about Route 443 and barring Palestinians from using it for years, in the best traditions of apartheid? (Which is flourishing here but which we are not permitted to call by that name.) Logic dictates that we need this road because it shortens the distance to Jerusalem and eases congestion on Highway 1. But because this efficient road passes through occupied territory, and has done so for 42 years - a temporary occupation, of course (here, in the script, the Supreme Court justices call for a wink) - it endangers the lives of Israelis. This is because the inhabitants of the occupied territory don`t like the idea of their land being used without their permission.

The court lies 300 meters south of the Beitunia roadblock, and was built on land that is part of Beitunia. | 14/1/2010 |
