While Arab
delegations make their case against the Israeli Wall to the
International Court of Justice in the Hague,
Israel
is pressing ahead with the construction of the gargantuan barrier
– a 700 km “fence” that will effectively incorporate new
Palestinian lands into
Israel
and cut off thousands of Palestinians from their livelihoods.
To
many, the proceedings taking place in
the Hague are meaningless; a sham trial that will change nothing – an
opinion strengthened by both Israel’s refusal to attend the hearings and the non-binding nature of
the Court’s eventual ruling. To others, it is a critical
opportunity to isolate and embarrass
Israel diplomatically, exposing its historical disdain for UN decisions.
IslamOnline.net continues to cover the unfolding crisis.
We
are pleased to provide the following special folder of previously
published material on the Wall.
