My guide to The West Bank was Ariel Shaul who has been part of the Israeli negotiating team since Rabin.
The areas I visited are agricultural villages from Qasir to Modi'in Elite on the Israeli side and Kafin to Rentis on the Palestinian side.
The checkpoints are user friendly so to speak. A Palestinian truck with motor oil came and a soldier opened the gate. I saw no hasseling of people and everyone seemed friendly. Agricultural checkpoints are opened whenever produce or people need to enter.
One Palestinian village is freely open to anyone who wants to enter. The Palestinian authorites don't really care about certain areas which surprised me. I learned that The Palestinians refused to except Tira as part of Palestine because they didn't want to deal with the hard headed people whose stubborness is well know.
