The Wall
 As the International Court of Justice in The Hague settles in for what will undoubtedly be a long and controversial hearing on the legality of the Wall, construction of the barrier continues unabated. Israel’s Separation Wall is being built in such a way as to divide Palestinian population centers from their adjacent agricultural land and water resources, isolating Palestinians from one another and restricting not only freedom of movement of individuals, but also worsening an already crippled Palestinian economy. The wall separates Palestinians from Palestinians and serves to secure illegal settlements built on occupied land. The most evident exploitation of Israel’s breach of convention is the implementation of new borders within the West Bank (including east Jerusalem), an occupied territory. This effective annexation of land alongside the violations of basic human rights highlights Israel’s selfish and destructive policies. Below is a comprehensive list of materials, including the latest reports, maps and articles, which represent the Palestinians viewpoint regarding the Wall: Maps:
