I forgot to mention the "security barrier". That is another tool the Israelis are using to ethnically cleanse Palestinians in the West Bank. Instead of putting the barrier along the pre-1967 border, they are using it to carve out huge chunks of the West Bank and making those areas unavailable to Palestinians, separating Palestinians from their fields and orchards in the process, as well as separating the ever shrinking bantustans one from another so that Palestinians cannot even go from one village to another within their own area. They are turing all of the areas that Palestinians have access to and are allowed to use into a huge prison full of inmates who have no civil rights whatever. This is collective punishment... a favorite tactic of the Nazis.
