Checkpoint for ever?

Quote:

This is happening to me more and more these days as my daily travels bring some of the concrete (literal as well as figurative) changes on the ground become clear to the eye. Traveling in the north West Bank on the road between Jericho and Tiberias one is struck with the changes happening near the former green line. The structures being built are looking more and more like a border. The problem is that the location of this new 'border' is a few kilometers inside the Palestinian area. There was a check point at the former green line and now the checkpoint has been moved inside the West Bank in parallel to the newly built structure. I have yet to hear any serious complaint about the placement of this new location deep into Palestinian lands. I am not sure whether the reason is simply lack of knowing or the fact that the Palestinian leaderships' agenda is so crowded with critical issues that some of these issues seem to fall between the cracks.

By stealing a few square kilometer there and another here and eventually - as Israel´s current plan goes - 8% of the West Bank, displacing at least 50 000 Palestinians and leaving 150 000 marooned in occupied East Jerusalem, Israel gets little in the way of plunder and much in the way of hate and future bloodshed. So little shouldn´t be the cause of so much current and future suffering.
