Every West Bank Village has a gate for Israel to shut
JVL Introduction
The West Bank was locked down as Israel began its bombing campaign against Iran. The very fact that this is even possible is one of the signs of the totality of the occupation and that it is annexed in all but name – all the while with different laws and (no) rights for Palestinians living in the West Bank and full rights for the Jewish Israelis who have illegally settled, or been settled, there.
The Israelis have not only locked own the West Bank so that people have no chance of leaving the West Bank to work or worship in Israel or East Jerusalem and Jordan, but so that movement between villages and towns is near impossible.

Btw. They (the allochthonous zionist Christians and allochthonous zionist Jews) are not only destroying the rights of the autochthonous Palestinians (and all the additional native citizens in the region, such as Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians and people of Jordan), but they are destroying the entire global groundwork of such precious institutions as the UN and the ICC.
For they are all explicitly using the extreme radical-right ideological concept of humans and sub-humans, to legitimatise their deadly destructive actions.
Or to put it in 33-45 Austria-Germany terms : By applying Human Rights, they do carefully distinguish between Uebermenschen and Untermenschen.
I do not think I have to explain to you, on which side the Jewsupremacists (and their evenly responsibel whitesupremacist allies) in this case are located…
