2) "Isolation of Palestinian Communities: The land confiscated is chosen strategically so that Palestinian communities are largely surrounded by Israeli controlled lands, and the resources of the region fall under direct Israeli control (especially water and rich farmlands (Jordan Valley)). Then the roads between the communities are bisected by Israeli military checkpoints where Palestinian commerce are harassed to the point of significantly hurting the Palestinian economy (both in terms of movement of goods, and in terms of civilians being able to get to their jobs). In addition, Palestinian society is also severely hampered by this interference with movement between communities. This strangling of Palestinian economy, society and culture is considered to be a severe violation of Palestinian inalienable right of self-determination - a violation of international humanitarian law."
