"Israeli Security Illusion: The Unintended Consequences of Separation. A growing body of research suggests that the strict barriers and checkpoints imposed on Palestinians are not only crippling their daily lives but may also be undermining Israel's own security.

As the Israeli government continues to grapple with the complexities of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a reevaluation of its security policies may be long overdue."
While barriers to free movement make the lives of Palestinians extremely difficult, they do not make Israel more secure.
