If it is just a wall and it is not heavily patrolled then it won't be much use. I was under the understanding that it was more then a simple wall or that eventually it would be more. But if it's just a wall it can be moved or broken down later if need be. You continue to ignore the political ramifications of a wall that weaves in and out of the West Bank. Any West Bank land that ends up on the wrong side of the wall will be seen as a land grab by the Palestinians. The main thing that kept this from happening before is not fear that the Palestinians would take it as a land grab but rather the thought that by walling off part of the West Bank that Israel would be conceding the rest of the west bank. In recent years that consideration has become more important with even the conservatives recognizing that Israel will not annex all of the West Bank so there has been less reason not be build a wall and with increased terrorism there has been more reason to build the wall. The Likud party, the more moderate conservatives, want the wall up. The radical right in Israel wants Israel to annex the West Bank to Israel and forget the wall. ted
