In connection with yesterday's posting, a very informative BBC article on a recent report by Oxfam (second link below) analyzing the West Bank's economic strangulation.
Also in connection with yesterday's post: while the article is indeed informative, one need only look at the map (included in the piece) to see what's going on.
Israel's response to Oxfam's report was predictably ironic, maintaining it "puts a clearly political agenda above any humanitarian concern." The map disgraces this claim and exposes it for what it is.
