THE
WALL
In
the spring of 2002, the Israeli military began constructing a physical
barrier to separate the West Bank from Israel proper. However, most of
this barrier, often called the Annexation Wall, is not being built on the
pre-1967 Border, called the Green Line, between Israel and the West Bank.
The barrier is being constructed well inside the West Bank, fencing
Palestinians away from major water sources and large tracts of their farmland,
dividing villages, separating people from hospitals and schools, leaving
over 200,000 Palestinians on the Israeli side of the Wall but still
without the rights of Israeli citizens. The International Court of
Justice ruled in June 2004 that the Wall as currently planned and
constructed is illegal and must be dismantled.
