Many are built on hilltops, securing water supplies, often linked by their own networks of roads and overlooking villages in the valleys beneath.


08-24-07 - Caught in the net when living conditions become so dire seeking asylum might be preferrable to returning home to family and friends, what does our government do? It bars a group of Palestinian teenagers from coming to play football. Talk about mixing politics with sport.
