Reema Hammami has called the disgraceful concrete and steel Qalandia Checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah high-tech. Is it?
A report published in February – March of this year on “TRACKING CORPORATE COMPLICITY IN THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE”, part of the Corporate Watch website here, says this: “Qalandiya Terminal, the crossing between East Jerusalem and Ramallah, is often the first military checkpoint visitors cross when entering the West Bank. During the second intifada, the Israeli state began transforming the old Qalandiya checkpoint into a ‘terminal’, similar to an international border. The process has cost between $32 and $34 million and has delivered hefty profits to the contractors involved”…
Does this make it high-tech?
