This is a United Nation's map from 2007 detailing how the West Bank has been fragmented and the movement of Palestinians within their own land (see resolution 242) has been severely restricted. It has been very awkward for people here to encourage me to visit other places within the West Bank and Israel. They say to me "You are a foreigner here so you can move freely." I, as a foreigner, have more freedom of movement than Palestinians and even Israelis since the Israeli army does not allow them to pass through into some Palestinian controlled areas.
Happy Fourth of July from Kenya!
