2Visualizing Occupation: Palestinian Prisoners’ Day – the numbers

Israel arrests more than nine Palestinians per day on average. Currently, 320 Palestinians are held in prison by Israel without trial. Today, April 17, 2012, marks Palestinian Prisoners’ Day.

3      Visualizing Occupation: Ethnic cleansing   The Oslo Accords divided the West Bank in a manner ostensibly meant to ensure some Palestinian control. However, Israel’s settlement growth, military control and land confiscation render true Palestinian autonomy  impossible. This illustration is the second in a series of infographics on the effect of the occupation on the Palestinian civilian population.

4   Visualizing Occupation: The right (or privilege) to protest?

Israel and its defenders often boast that it is the “only democracy in the Middle East,” where people can openly express opposition to government policies. However, when comparing a protest in Tel Aviv for “social justice” with one in the West Bank for Palestinian rights,  it becomes clear that the freedom to demonstrate and the means used to disperse them depend on where you are and who you are. This illustration is the third in a series of infographics on the effect of the occupation on the Palestinian civilian population.
