"Israel has long been pursuing a Judaization plot to change the identity of the region." It advanced its efforts across Occupied Palestine and Golan.
It wants more. It's longstanding policy. A Greater Israel is planned at the expense of neighboring countries and beyond. Settlements advance its agenda. So do walls.
Stop the Wall says they're built to ethnically cleanse Palestine. US tax dollars help construct them. They're an unabashed land grab. They devastate the lives of ordinary people.
Communities are surrounded and isolated. Valued agricultural land is lost. Thousands are separated from property and means of subsistence. Others lose out altogether. Nearly the entire Jordan Valley is isolated. It's a closed military zone.
Palestinians are dispossessed to advance construction. Netanyahu wants it escalated. He wants all valued parts of Judea and Sumaria under Israeli control. He wants Jerusalem as Israel's exclusive capital. He wants mission accomplished as soon as possible.
He doesn't give a damn what world leaders say. Settlements and walls assure conflict. Netanyahu prioritizes it. He's over-the-top and out-of-control. He menaces Jews and gentiles alike.
Ilan Pappe earlier said Israel's project involves constructing, then defending "a Western/'white' fortress in the Arab/'dark' world."
Doing so resembles Crusaders in Islamic lands. Israelis are encircling themselves within walls and electric fences. They believe "Fortress Israel guarantees the perpetuation of the conflict with the Palestinians, their Arab neighbors, and Muslim societies as far away as South-East Asia."
