The Israeli-occupied West Bank

they say a picture is worth a thousand words... well, this one is worth about a million...

(click on image for interactive version)

The map lays out the presence of thousands of Israeli settlers in the West Bank, each of which is connected to each other by Israeli-only roads guarded by numerous Israeli military battalions and many more checkpoints. In the [above] map, each blue house represents an Israeli settlement.
