Israel's Occupation of Palestine: Quest for Security or for Land?
The Israeli government and its U.S. supporters cite "security" as the reason for the West Bank barrier restricting Palestinian access to Israeli population centers. Yet more walls are being built dividing Palestinian from Palestinian. Israeli settlements continue to be built and expanded on the Palestinian side of the wall. The number of military checkpoints and closures has risen to some five hundred and fifty inside the West Bank. What are the real reasons for these measures? Why do Israeli policies make a two-state solution all but impossible?
