Home > Albums > Segregated Roads & Roadblocks

In the Occupied Palestinian West Bank, there are both Palestinians and Israelis living there, but they use different roads. There are Palestinian roads; there are Israeli roads. Palestinian roads tend to be older, sometimes even unusable like the one you see in this photograph; Israeli roads tend to be more modern, constructed by the Israeli government for the Israeli citizens living in the Palestinian territories, and they might be four-lane highways like the one you see in this photograph. Palestinians are not allowed to use the Israeli roads, unless they’re able to obtain a kind of permit, in which case they might be able to use, say, a certain section of a certain road, but in all other cases the roads are segregated.
