Israel to expand Ma'aleh Adumim barrier
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israel has issued orders to seize Palestinian-owned land to build a section of the security barrier around Ma'aleh Adumim, the Justice Ministry said Wednesday.

Attorney General Meni Mazuz approved the order after a legal review, the Justice Ministry said.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has repeatedly said his withdrawal from Gaza and part of the West Bank will cement Israel's hold on large West Bank settlement blocs, including Ma'aleh Adumim. About 30,000 people live in the settlement, located on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

Amos Gil, executive director of Ir Amim, an Israeli settlement-monitoring group, said the Maaleh Adumim confiscation would seize about 60 square kilometers of land.

"We argue that the real reason for this is political, to annex another large part of the West Bank to Israel," Gil said. "This will cut the West Bank in half and you won't be able to have a viable Palestinian state."

I don't see any end to Israeli human rights abuses against the Palestinians until they are financially and militarily supported by another country. China comes to mind. Until then anger and hatred will continue to marinate in the region.
