Maps of the West Bank
A few readers asked to see a map of the West Bank and the settlements.
The best up to date information on the settlements is at the Americans for Peace Now website. They are the experts on the settlement issue (truth in advertising--I am an officer of APN in the US). Here is the link. www.peacenow.org
go to the focus on settlements page. there are maps, updates, photos of 'natural growth,' which is not natural at all, but expansion and building into a future Palestinian state.

Instead of advertising the site, kindly provide a link or even, several links to the maps.
P.S. I couldn't find anything on the site entitled "settlements page." Do you mean "Settlements in Focus."
P.P.S. What are we supposed to learn from this non-expandable 2005 map on the "Settlements in Focus" page?

There is no such thing as "natural growth" for illegal settlements. They must all be removed and eradicated.

I couldn't find the maps either. Here's a good one, published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs:

USERNAME 99: Good job. People should be advised to look especially closely at the map of they Water Resources and overlay it on the West Bank settlements.
Duh.
It's never REALLY about ideology, religion or history is it? It's about property and resources.
In the desert, its all about WATER people.
And Syria-track? All about protecting Kinnereth (See of Galillee to you goyim) water resources.
