The Wall of Politicide
Security. Sure.
And it is also turning Palestinian communities into dungeons, cutting the West Bank into 16 isolated enclaves.
It also claims some of the most fertile lands of the West Bank and extends Israel’s control of critical water resources, which Israel and its settlers can appropriate as they choose, while the indigenous population often lacks water for drinking.
As for the Palestinians who find themselves in the seam between the wall and the Green Line, they will be permitted to apply for the right to live in their own homes. Israelis automatically have the right to use these lands.
The Israelis settlers will now enjoy ample land and fresh water yet one million Palestinians barely survive with their meager water supplies.
“Behind the security rationales and the seemingly neutral bureaucratic language of military orders is the gateway for expulsion.” ~ Amira Hass
