>Well you may be more knowledgeable about it than I, but it's hard to understand then the objections of portions of the FENCE reaching deep into "Palestinian Lands" if they are just 1 meter 2 meter encroachments. Give me a break! Is it not true that the Israeli government is de facto confiscating massive swaths of land (I'm talkiing 900 meters or more) of land than is deemed (by the UN) not to be theirs? There is one exception to what I said -- there is a city settlement, called Ariel, of roughly 15,000 people in the eastern West Bank. It is, to me, one of the largest sticking points -- Israel has left the fence open parallel to it -- if they complete the fence around Ariel, they make a huge land grab. If they don't, then in my opinion, they're a lot closer to OK. If they keep Ariel, the Palestinians will never be able create something contiguous in the West Bank. As of right now, they're equivocating. But as far as I know, it's the only really significant presence of Israelis far from the border. The rest are outposts. >Does the fence go WAY beyond accepted "borders", or not? Given that they haven't actually built it out there (unless it's happened recently and I haven't heard about it), then no. But it probably will. -Z
