Ever since the June 1967 war Israel has pursued a policy of illegal settlement in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Successive Israeli leaderships have worked to impose upon the territories a strategic network of exclusively Jewish residential settlements, connecting roads and accompanying military installations.
The history of abuse of Palestinian children at the hands
of the Israeli soldiers is certainly not limited to just the
most recent Intifada. During the first Intifada, the then
Defence Minister Yitzhak Rabin formulated and implented
his "Iron Fist Policy" in dealing with the uprising.

The Apartheid Wall, a massive land grab which is causing the forced expulsion of Palestinians, is tearing apart the West Bank and isolating hundreds of thousands into ghettos.

This fact sheet details the Wall’s effects on communities along the “first phase” along with selected case studies.
