Walled ghettos, in other words. [Even before the construction of the wall, Raja Shehadeh, the author of _Strangers in the House: Coming of Age in Occupied Palestine_ (Cf. <http://www.afsc.org/pwork/0203/020314.htm>), already described Palestinian experiences with Israeli checkpoints, etc. as living in ghettos, more confined than living in bantustans under the South African Apartheid -- but the image of ghettos is even more fitting today.]
