They are building a wall.

A very sensible and overdue project even though it is no panacea.

Any where there are settlements the wall goes out to encompass them.

Again sensible. You put the wall in such a way that your enemy is on the other side of it. If you are in danger you don't want to be on the other side of it. If a settlement could be reached then there might not be a need for a wall or the wall could be set up differently covering different areas but in the absence of a settlement you have to protect people where they are.

To the extent there is defacto annexaction it is the settlement not the wall the constitutes such annexation. Its easier to tear down, even tear down an move a wall then it is to uproot unwilling people. It is the settlement not the wall that should draw your (And the Palestinians) ire.

Good point! Personally, I think the wall is a great thing. They oughtta just keep the Israelis and the Palestinians away from each other for 30-50 years so the current generations can all die away, and the future generations won't have all the bad blood that has been created in the past 50+ years. In fact, they should build the wall with the plan to tear it down in 2060.

The problematic part is where to build the wall....
