"The Israelis are convinced that the definition of "prohibited" is fixed purely on security considerations. The truth is that there is a great deal of arbitrariness, inflexibility, power games and the desire to win over collaborators. Proof of this exists: In around 70 percent of cases where Palestinians have petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice through human rights organizations, the prohibition against the petitioners has been canceled. However, it soon became clear to those who obtained the magnetic card that the prohibition for security reasons had not been lifted."
