In the West Bank, Palestinians under Israeli occupation are detained in a prison, the bars of which are checkpoints, barbed wire, earth mounds, iron gates, and a reinforced concrete wall.

The Palestinian person lives without the most basic inherent rights guaranteed by all international laws and treaties. In the West Bank, Palestinians under Israeli occupation are detained in a prison, the bars of which are checkpoints, barbed wire, earth mounds, iron gates, and a reinforced concrete wall. To each roadblock, there is a story; and for each iron gate, earth mound and barbed wire fence, there is a narrative to be told. These are stories and narratives of injury and death inflicted on workers, students, doctors, mothers and children, at the hands of heavily armed soldiers, under the pretext of self-protection.
This book starts with an informational preface, followed by a legal one, then it surveys the development in numbers and types of Israeli roadblocks in the period 2001–2014, and gives examples of those found in the West Bank and of the suffering they cause the Palestinians. Al-Zaytouna Centre presents to its readers its thirteenth book in the Am I not a Human? Series, which sheds light on various aspects of the suffering of the Palestinian people. The series conveys the suffering in a style that addresses the mind and the heart, within a scientific, systematic and documented framework.
