With the American taxpayer money burning a hole in their pocket, the Israeli government is building a two hundred mile , twenty-four foot high concrete wall replete with gun towers, that will isolate the hapless Palestinians into three large prison camps. Surely this construction project, begun last summer, represents one of the most despicably evil acts ever undertaken by a government noted for its cruelty. An impassioned Ran HaCohen examines this grim development in his most recent two posts on Antiwar.com, http://www.antiwar.com/hacohen/h-col.html and http://www.antiwar.com/hacohen/h052103.html
One positive outcome for the Israeli government of the wall has been the free acquisition of thousands of acres of prime Palestinian farmland.
