Occupations have checkpoints all of the time.P F Tinmore, et al,
I ask, if we both go to the Middle East, and we start at Beit Ur At Tahta, and travel West on Route 443, what do you think we will run into? If you said, the Israeli Checkpoint at Maccbim you would be right. And if you don't have the proper documentation, the Border Police will not let you proceed.

Yes, you don't see. This is what we call the Ostrich Effect. (In Palestinian behavioral observations, the ostrich effect is the avoidance of apparently obvious physical realities by pretending they do not exist.)

I don't see any place here called Israel.
Yes, you don't see any reference to Palestine --- either...
You do see references made to:
But, just because the territory to which the former Mandate applied is not labeled, I don't deny the reality of its existence.
- Color Code Box for Jewish Territory under UN General Assembly Partition Plan of 29 November 1947
- Israeli-Egyptian Armistice Line
- Israeli-Transjordan Armistice Line
- Israeli-Lebanese Armistice Line
(MOVING FORWARD --- TO THE 21st CENTURY)
There six decade old agreement called the League of Arab States, Khartoum Resolution, 1 September 1967, in which the Arab League buries its head in the sand, as if that will make Israel go away, and create what has become known as the "Three No's: No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, and no negotiations with Israel.
Many thought that with the Exchange of Letters, that we had moved past that point. But I see there are still people that think, in their physical reality, that Israel doesn't exist.
If that were true, then who did the Palestinian State file a complaint against with the ICC, who is the Occupation Force that they are constantly complaining about, and who is it that the fire rockets and mortars against?
If you believe that their is no State of Israel, then you should write your opinion and submitted as a "Friend of the Court Brief." That would make the issues fall under NIAC and not IAC criteria.
Most Respectfully,
RYes, you don't see any reference to Palestine --- either...
Uhhh, right at the top. The title of the map is Palestine. I see Lebanon. I see Syria. I see Transjordan. I see Arabia. I see Egypt. I don't see Israel.
And AGAIN! On the map, you don't see a place or demarcation in the name of "Palestine." You do see Demarcations for Israel. And if you actually walk the ground, it would be very difficult to deny in the physical reality the existence of the State of Israel. The Arab Palestinian that is using a defense mechanism in which the existence of unpleasant internal or external realities --- pertaining to the existence of Israel --- are in denial; and are exhibiting abnormal symptoms of an altered state.
Border barriers are the physical manifestation of extending self-determination to a defined territory; the reality of which cannot be denied.
Most Respectfully,

What is your point?

Tensions increase between Hamas, Salafists
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The tension between Hamas and Gaza security services against Salafist jihadists has returned to the fore, most recently in a campaign of arrests targeting Salafists. Hundreds of security checkpoints have been set up to search and arrest Salafists and anyone thought to be connected to them in Gaza City.

The bolded text was mine.
What was it that Tinmore was whining about? Occupations have checkpoints?
