You keep ducking and dodging. First you complained that the wall would not be effective, and that was countered. Now you come in with the argument that the settlements are illegal. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. Depends on whose law, and as of when. I don't pretend to know all the legalities of that situation, but I believe that at this point there's no binding treaty they're violating, and I understand that in at least some cases the settlers legally purchased the land. They were built on land intended for the Palestinian state. Intent does not create a legal right. Perhaps some or all of the settlements are illegal. But I would need to see the laws before I were to agree. You do not seem to me to be all that neutral about the situation, so you will excuse me, please, not taking your word for it, but wanting documentation.
