Israelis, Don't Be Surprised When Another West Bank Intifada Breaks Loose
Haaretz ^ | Jan 17, 2024 | Gideon Levy

Posted on 02/03/2024 6:21:32 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Three and a half hours. Three and a half hours from Jenin to Tul Karm. In three and a half hours you can fly to Rome, or drive to Eilat. But in the occupied West Bank today you’re barely able to drive between two nearby cities.

That’s the time it took us this week to travel from Jenin to Tul Karm, 35 kilometers. At the end of every Palestinian road on the West Bank there is a locked iron gate since the war in Gaza started. Waze instructs you to travel on these roads, but even this clever app doesn’t know there’s a locked gate at the end of every one.

If there isn’t a locked gate, there’s a “breathing” roadblock. If there isn’t a breathing roadblock, there’s a strangling roadblock.

Near the Ottoman railway station in Sebastia, reserve soldiers stop Palestinians from taking even that remote gravel path. Near Shavei Shomron, soldiers permit traveling from south to north, but not in the opposite direction.

Why? Because.

The soldiers at the next roadblock are taking selfies, and all the cars wait for them to finish photographing themselves so they can receive the dismissive, patronising hand gesture that will allow them to pass, while the traffic jam backs up on the road.

The Einav roadblock we passed through in the morning was closed to traffic in the afternoon by soldiers. It’s impossible to know anything. The Hawara roadblock is shut.

Like drugged coackroaches in bottle The exit from Shufa is closed. So are most of the exit routes from the villages to the main roads. That’s how we traveled this week, like drugged cockroaches in a bottle, three and a half hours from Jenin to Tul Karm, to reach Road 557 and return to Israel.

The Globalist plan is to unlock Saudi-Gulf Arab $$$$ with some big peace deal.

This means some sort of compromises on the land in Judea and Samaria.

Beating up Iran is allowed Shia Islam competes with Sunni Islam based in Saudi Arabia but will it be a total beatup I can only guess?

The IDF should completely obliterate Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria by that time.

Sure Jan.
