Most Americans have not experienced life under enemy military occupation, yet one frequently reads in the American press that the Israeli occupation is relatively liberal and benign, as occupations go. After a month of conversations with Palestinians under Israeli occupation I am inclined to doubt the validity of such assertions. The objective evidence of Israeli intentions in the territories, which can only be described as creeping (if not galloping) annexation, is now ubiquitous: the building of settlements, the continuing seizure of land and the manipulation of water resources. The subjective factors, which account for the grim outlook of the Palestinians, are manifested by the sense of powerlessness and degradation that accompanies the checkpoints, the armed patrols, the military bureaucracy and the punishment for alleged resistance or political activity
