Map of my bus route from Ramallah to Jerusalem
On the top of my web page I have posted a map (adapted by Imad Farrah from a map published by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) which traces my route between Ramallah and Jerusalem (black and orange line). The red and black circles on the map with white lines through them are the locations of Israeli checkpoints to regulate Palestinian movement and entrance into Jerusalem. The areas in light brown are Palestinian villages or cities, and the areas in purple are Israeli settlements, which are located outside the green line (pre-1967 borders) and are illegal under international law. Lastly, the black and red lines represent the completed Separation Wall between Jerusalem and the West Bank, black and white lines represent the portions of the Wall currently under construction, and the red and white lines represent locations where the Wall is planned for construction.
