Although the Bush administration's Roadmap for Peace is mentioned in the mainstream media, the realities of Palestinian life are often distorted or unreported. Many Americans hear nothing about the Separation Fence (a.k.a. the Apartheid Wall) that Israel constructs, separating many Palestinians from their land, water, schools and services, thus putting Palestine under even tighter Israeli control. It is rare that Americans are able to hear critical analyses of the situation or perspectives that connect the situation to overall American foreign policy.
