A United Nations human rights investigator has denounced a controversial barrier Israel is building in the West Bank as illegal.
| "Nope. Nope. Can't do it..." |
John Dugard, a South African law professor, said the wall was tantamount to an "unlawful act of annexation" which should be condemned by the international community.
"All have the right to self-determination except the Jews."
Israel, which says it is building the wall to stop suicide bombers crossing from Palestinian areas, dismissed the findings as "one-sided, highly politicised and biased".
Which they probably are.
The report by the special investigator comes a day before the Israeli Cabinet is due to decide on the route of the next stage of construction. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said the fence will be built around two Jewish settlements - Ariel and Kedumim - reaching deep into the West Bank. The Palestinians have described the fence as a "Berlin Wall", which traps some Palestinian towns and villages and has cut off farmers from their land.
And boomers from the Jews they want dead.
America has also raised objections and are considering withholding loan guarantees to Israel in line with the money the Israelis spend on the barrier. |
