Since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories in 1967, Israel has increasingly restricted Palestinian movement through a policy of territorial segmentation and a matrix of control. By trapping Palestinian children and families in a stagnant and often hopeless reality, these policies have effectively arrested them in place. This chapter examines the role of borders — both visible and invisible — as a layer of the restrictive practices associated with the occupation. Drawing from multiple research methods (for example, family interviews, drawing, mapmaking, and neighborhood walks) conducted with Palestinian children and their families living in the occupied West Bank and annexed East Jerusalem, this chapter illuminates their lived experiences within restrictive borders and reveals how they interpret, understand, and navigate borders within a contested and violent space.
