The first phase of "Another Way" was less controversial because its path was close to the "green line," the cease-fire line from the 1967 war that defined the Israeli border with Jordan, and which is accepted by most of the international community at least a few Palestinians as the official boundary of Israel. Future phases will deviate by some degree from the green line, encompassing many of the authorized settlements to the east and Israeli suburbs of Jerusalem. The fence will thus achieve by fait accompli what warfare and negotiations have failed to achieve. It will become the ultimate fact on the ground. Yet, like most fences, it has two sides. By defining Israel's border, it will also define Palestine's. The fence will be as much a statement of Palestinian territoriality as Israeli. It will mark the limit of officially sanctioned Israeli settlements, and mean an end to Israeli expansion. In fact, the fence was first proposed by Israeli leftists precisely to detach Israel from the settlement movement, which at its most radical opposes any border west of the Jordan River. Thus while the Palestinians may not be inclined to accept the route the fence takes (which is still largely yet to be determined in planning, let alone construction), the fact is that once completed it will go a long way to end the territorial question.

This is all true.
THese fence lines are not negotiated but unilaterally (there's that word again) decided by Israel.

Forget the Road Map. The Fence Map Rules.

Did you look at the map I posted yesterday?http://www4.alternativenews.org/matrixofcontrol/index.php
Do you see where the settlements are?

THis is a not a border in the conventional sense like the one we have with Mexico.

THis fence will creat borders which enclose enclaves.
Cages around reservations.

If this is OK with your highest moral standards then we can agree to terminate any future posts on rationalization or explanation of these facts.
