Re: he wall has already claimed some of the most fertile lands of the West Bank. And, crucially, it 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.

From the Road Map to the Wall Trap:

Ain't about water or "fertile lands".... The wall's chief goal is to cordon off East Jerusalem from its West-Bank hinterland in order to prevent any urban sprawl by Arab Jerusalemites. Indeed, if East Jerusalem --that is, the Arab/Muslim Jerusalem-- is physically walled off from its environs then its future population is capped as well! Zionists and Likudniks want to make sure that East Jerusalem will forever remain an Arab ghetto in the larger Jewish capital....

Again, I told you so:

The so-called right of return for Palestinian refugees has always been a moot open to debate. No, the real obstacle to any settlement is the division of Jerusalem and the prospect of a demographic victory/defeat in the holy city. Indeed, Judeofascists perfectly realize that were they to give up just ONE square inch of Jerusalem then, in, say, 20 years from now, the Arab Jerusalem will be a sprawling megalopolis with one million Muslim inhabitants vs a shrivelling Jewish ghetto of 100,000 souls (West Jerusalem)... In short, Jerusalem as whole will be an Arab city.
