Amira Hass om utdrivelsen ved byråkrati av palestinere som bor mellom Green Line og Muren:

"Under the Radar, Quiet and Persistent Population Transfer Is Underway in the West Bank"
"While Israeli settlers drive Palestinians from their land through violence, another, quieter expulsion continues through bureaucracy and law"
Utdrag:
"This population transfer is better known by the name Seam Zone: an immense area of about 320,000 dunams (nearly 124 square miles) lying between the separation barrier deep inside the West Bank, and the Green Line – open to Israelis and closed to Palestinians.
In the Seam Zone – Area C squared – the restrictions are so draconian that the few thousand Palestinians who live in villages trapped inside it can reside in their own homes only if Israel deigns to issue them special permits.
Recently, the residents of three villages northwest of Jerusalem – Beit Iksa, Nabi Samwil and Khalaila – were added to this trapped population. For them, this is not a dramatic change hardly matters: they have long been completely cut off from their relatives, friends and workplaces.
For 20 years they have faced severe restrictions on movement and construction. Once, a lively area connected these villages to each other and to their fields and orchards. Now, it has been "cleansed" of Palestinians and effectively annexed to Israel.
Today, however, residents of these three villages must also obtain Israeli permits simply to live in their own

homes. Several hundred have not received such permits; several dozen have been told they never will. Israeli
bureaucrats, dutifully following orders, will decide whose permits to revoke in the future, free to invent new "residential conditions" as needed.
This is a quiet, ongoing expulsion, and one that unfolds beneath the radar."
Her får Israel beslaglagt store områder med fruktbar jord .
Amira Hass konkluderer slik:
"This is a quiet, ongoing expulsion, and one that unfolds beneath the radar."
