(Fox News) Ami Horowitz - One of the main accusations against Israel is that it has installed numerous checkpoints across the West Bank that disrupt Palestinian daily life and make it difficult to travel between Palestinian cities. To verify this, I traveled in a Palestinian car with a Palestinian driver throughout the West Bank. We were never stopped. There are checkpoints where one enters Israel from Palestinian territory, which were set up after a rash of terrorism. Thousands of Palestinians use these points of entry into Israel in order to get to their jobs. At the Kalandia checkpoint into Jerusalem, I asked Palestinians how long it takes them to cross over into Israel. Three different people replied, "Ten minutes." One said the actual time that "the soldier checks my ID or my work permit is just one minute."
