46. Middle East Institute: Policy Brief Political geography in Israel and the west bank by Valerie M. Leon May31, 2002. On May 31, 2002, Dr. David Newman, founder and chair http://www.mideasti.org/articles/doc52.html

Political Geography in Israel and the West Bank by Valerie M. Leon May 31, 2002 On May 31, 2002, Dr. David Newman, founder and chair of the Politics and Government Department at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, addressed three major components of the geopolitical discourse in Israel and the West Bank. Dr. Newman began his lecture by asserting that discussions of security, water, and settlement issues must be prefaced with a determination for conflict-resolution, and with a resolve to establish two states, with two territories determined by a strong border. Israel’s security discussions, until recently, focused on retaining control of the Jordan Valley and the Golan Heights. The Jordan Valley, Israel’s eastern border, provided Israel with a defense from incursions of petty armaments, and allowed more control of the West Bank. Israel perceived that the loss of control of the uplands would impart Palestinians with the military advantage of stationing weaponry that would overlook Israeli cities. During former Prime Minister Barak’s administration, Barak surprised his army by saying that Israel no longer needed the Jordan Valley to ensure security in the region. Today, the security threat is nuclear, rather than a military threat directed at micro-territories; thus, the security discourse is no longer the prevalent issue in Israel’s geopolitical discussions. Dr. Newman concluded by reiterating his point that any resolution must be reached through the agreement for continuous, compact territories on both sides of the Green Line. In past negotiations, 85% of the fine points of these issues were addressed, and approximately 80% were resolved. Dr. Newman explained that the absence of the “big issues,” a willingness for discussion and mutual efforts toward peace, are hindering the development of the smaller problems’ solutions.

The central plateau, called the West Bank, is the ancient Israel heartland containing Jerusalem. To the north are the Lebanese mountains. Israel has been in a political and sometimes military battle with its neighbors over its territory and very existence. The Gaza Strip on the Mediterranean coast was once part of Egypt. The West Band and East Jerusalem were part of Jordan. The Golan Heights is still in dispute with Syria. To the south of the West Bank is the Negev desert. The Negev desert represents about 60% of Israel's territory.

Geography of Water Resources Mountain Aquifer Coastal Aquifer Table of Water Resources and Use The Jordan River Valley stretches from Mount Hermon in the north to the Dead Sea in the south and includes Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Eighty percent of the basin, however, is in Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank, which do not have other significant surface water sources, and have only limited groundwater sources. Jordan relies on the surface waters of the basin for 75% of its water needs, while Israel relies on the surface waters for only 30% of its water consumption because it has larger aquifers from which to draw water. Syria relies on the basin minimally, for the Euphrates River and other smaller basins fall within its borders. Israel and Palestine have an combined 1.4 BCM/yr of renewable water resources, with an additional 450 MCM/yr captured by Israeli water reuse and rainwater collection for a total of about 2 BCM/yr. Already a deficit of water exists between what is used and what is available in the environment. In 1994, Israel and the Palestinian territories used approximately 2.1 BCM of water. Map of the Regional Drainage Basins The Sea of Galilee is the principal aboveground storage reservoir in the basin with a surface area of 170 square kilometers and a volume of approximately 4000 MCM. Its water derives from three sources: the Hasbani, Dan and Banias River, which merge at a point six kilometers within Israel’s northern border. At present, the water level in the Sea of Galilee has fallen more than 213 meters below sea level and is now no more than 4 to 6 meters deep at any point. This low quantity of water threatens water quality, including the toxic algae and lowers the water pressure that keeps out the salt water springs flowing into the bottom of the lake.

english.daralhayat.com 2004/06/12     21:51 GMT Search for Go to advanced search The New Israeli Geography Erasing History Of Villages Saeda Hamad Al-Hayat 2003/11/21 According to the new Israeli geography, the village of Azoon Atmeh in the district of Qalqilia is no longer part of the occupied Palestinian West Bank. The separation wall has 'moved' it westward, locking it between an iron gate and the fictional Green line. And yet, according to Israel's plan, the village itself and its 3,000 inhabitants will not be part of the state of Israel. To enter the Palestinian village, one must come from within the Green line, where Palestinians who do not reside in the village are forbidden to cross the iron gate to the West Bank and enter it. The village inhabitants are allowed to cross the military gate toward neighboring villages, but only during the hours set by the soldiers. The scene is all the more surprising because Israelis describe the wall as a security wall, but in the village and around its houses, there are houses of the Jewish settlement of Shaar, which are only separated from the Palestinian houses by a fence. The village is just a few meters away from the village of Kfer Qasem, and there is no material separation between the village and the Green line after the military barrack was removed, leaving only an Israeli military patrol to control the passing cars. On both sides of the military gate, dozens of students and teachers wait every morning to be allowed to cross the gate because one part of the common school for both villages is in Azoon Atmeh and the other in Beit Amin.

57. Al-Quds University - The Geography Of Occupation: Education In Conflict of Jerusalem to accommodate its building of new colonies and to confiscate moreland in the west bank. This process has invented an unreal mythic geography. http://www.alquds.edu/geography.htm

The Geography of Occupation: Education in Conflict To understand the current hardships of Al Quds University and other Palestinian educational institutions, it is necessary to explore the geography of Israeli occupation. This geography shows the real colour of the degradation to which people are subjected and the effects of long-standing colonizing policies. One would have thought a simple, self-evident right to education should be guaranteed. The eight universities in Gaza and the West Bank, other educational institutions and hundreds of schools are all subjected to severe restrictions in the delivery of knowledge, as a result of Israeli measures. Normal education has continued to be disrupted over the past 35 years of occupation, especially during and after the first Intifada started in 1987. Birzeit University was particularly singled out for harassment during this period because of its perceived role in intellectual leadership. Faculty and students were arbitrarily detained, the university president exiled, and the campus closed for extended periods. The measures resulted in a movement of ‘underground’ education, when faculty met students in private homes and other unofficial ‘campuses’. Today, student and faculty attendance at all universities continues to be severely affected by the presence of Israeli checkpoints, curfews, sometimes by direct harassment, attacks and willful destruction. A single checkpoint on a West Bank road can close down teaching for many days. A study term of 15 weeks usually ends up being compressed into less than 12 weeks or extended over six or seven months. The academic and other effects are cumulative and drastic in the long-term, since few courses are taught in full. Not only is educational delivery impaired and an acute financial crisis affects all aspects of educational work. There is an unsettling sense of constant precariousness that makes any planning and any motivation difficult indeed. Priorities have shifted from an emphasis on quality to a struggle for mere survival.
