It's an interesting article, because after making assumptions about the Palestinians, she actually meets them and realises that there is plenty she doesn't understand yet.

She refers to American privilege in Ramallah, but glosses over the fact that had she been visibly identifiable as a Jew or Israeli, she would likely have been attacked.

The missing context to her observations about limits on freedom of movement is that Israelis aren't allowed into Palestinian areas because it's way to dangerous for them and that Palestinians aren't allowed free passage to Israel, because that would be way to dangerous to Israeli civilians.
