This photo is taken
near the Palestinian hamlet of JUBARA, which is now cut off from the
village of Ar Ras (on horizon) and the West Bank by the security
fence. The road is used by the Israeli military and settlers. This
snake-like security barrier runs several kilometers inside West Bank
territory, resulting in a de facto annexation of approximately 2%, or
30,500 acres, of Palestinian farmlands. In addition to this illegal
confiscation of land, the inhabitants of Jubara find themselves on
the Israeli side of the security fence, they are isolated inside a
kind of open-air prison since they do not have legal access to
Israel. In order to go to school, the children of Jubara must wait
for Israeli soldiers to unlock the security gate. The hamlet with
it's 300 inhabitants will die a slow death of economic strangulation.
