“这些退休的[以色列]将军的选择范围正在缩小，他们要么成为军火商，要么成立安保公司。” — Shir Hever 博士，《以色列安全私有化》一书的作者
OCCUPIED WEST BANK — On any given morning, masses of Palestinians are packed like sardines at the Qalandiya checkpoint at the edge of Ramallah in the Occupied West Bank.

耶路撒冷西尔万至少有 1,500 名巴勒斯坦居民面临种族清洗的风险，他们希望在他们历史悠久的街区建立一个犹太旅游公园。
OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM — Roughly 2.5 miles from Sheikh Jarrah -- the Palestinian neighborhood that grabbed the world’s attention in May -- lies Silwan.

A state of de facto annexation already exists on the ground in most of the occupied West Bank. Almost two-thirds of the Palestinian territory, including most of its most fertile and resource-rich land, is under full Israeli control. About 400,000 Jewish settlers living there enjoy the full rights and privileges of Israeli citizens. At least
