Response to "Searching the Web for the Wall!"

I know one thing: it's hard to search for information on the Israeli-Palestinian separation wall to write about...I just wanted to click and read more, and more, and...yep...more!  But here's a short one that sounded all too familiar.  It was on the NZ Week, from Jerusalem and dated 25 February 2013, and it sure reminded me of our meeting with Sahar Vardi. This article basically reported that Israel is banning the Palestinians on building on more than 1,000 acres of their own land near the separation wall...for 'security reasons.'  Those two words reminded me that Sahar said almost all replies to questions asked about the wall are answered that way...'security reasons.'  Who could doubt or question.  But one does have to wonder why, when so many people do not have homes, homes can not be erected for the homeless.  And, how can a country on one side of the fence govern another?  Just wondering.....

Also, on Haaretz.com, dated 21 January 2013 there was another article on the wall.  It's headlines were: "Israel to change route of separation fence near Jerusalem to cut off Palestinians from E-1 area."  That meant finding out where in the world...where in Israel... the E-1 area is located.  After locating it (it is east of Jerusalem between Jerusalem and the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adumim) I am thinking that Israel is really stretching it as, apparently, this will isolate Palestinian territory from E-1.  I am wondering why or how it can be built if the international community is in opposition.  Also, if the High Court of Justice is petitioned by the isolated Palestinian settlement/city of Al-Zaim, wouldn't Israel have to tear it back down?  Hmmmm...interesting to me is the speculation as to what might happen, what repercussions might take place, what consequences might result....like a wait and see child's game with super high stakes.....what could be the advantage here?

And, I must say, in my unprofessional opinion, that the wall is not even close to attractive for such a beautiful country...and it winds in and out and around so much that it looks like a series of after-thoughts...surely there is a better way to exist next to each other.....
