What is Israel really trying to do by building the wall?
Israel is attempting to annex parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territories by establishing militarily-enforced Palestinian ghettos corresponding to the Palestinian population centers, while continuing its illegal colonization policy. It is estimated that the wall, when complete, will ensure that approximately 94% of the Israeli settler population remains in the Occupied West Bank, with approximately 60% of the colonies also remaining. At the same time, the wall will ensure that Palestinians are denied the ability to move, while Israeli settlers will be able to freely travel throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Israel s ultimate goal is to make life so difficult for Palestinians through the loss of land, loss of water resources, demolition of homes and markets, restrictions on movement and access to health and education that the Palestinians will eventually leave. Once complete, the wall will leave less than 13% of historic Palestine for the indigenous Palestinian populatio
