Analysis / Features 

 

The Apartheid Wall: The Israeli Project for the Demise of Palestinian Life 

It was the timing with which Israel began the construction of the Apartheid Wall in the northern West Bank in June 2002, together with the way this construction has proceeded, that made it clear for the Palestinian people that this would turn out to be a massive Occupation “project”. It was begun only two months after the so-called “incursion” by the Occupation of the West Bank. The residents of Nablus and Jenin were still searching for the bodies of their martyrs beneath the rubble of the houses demolished by the Israeli military during the incursions when 200 bulldozers started razing the land along a 145 KM stretch from Salem, north of Jenin, to Qalqiliya where the Apartheid Wall would be built.
