Checkpoints: The stranglehold on Palestine
All over Palestine, Israeli military checkpoints restrict the movement of Palestinians on their way to work, school or even for medical treatment.
Israeli checkpoints are one of the many Israeli military policies that are being practiced as facts on the ground.
Whether they are students on their way to their universities, or the sick on their way to a hospital for medical treatment, Palestinians face these checkpoints.
Their ability to access these roads rely only on Israeli policy at the time in addition to the whim of the Israeli soldiers stationed at the checkpoint.
Israeli checkpoints range in form, from concrete blocks and a couple of jeeps to sprawling complexes complete with turn gates, metal detectors and x-ray machines.
While the shape of the checkpoints may change, the humiliation Palestinians face at them remains largely similar.
From arrests to strip searches and other forms of oppression, the Palestinians pass through these checkpoints as a necessity to go about their daily lives.
