Israel to annex more Palestinian territory

Israel is planning to annex more Palestinian territory by moving the "Wall" deeper into the West Bank than originally planned:

The Israeli government is considering moving its separation barrier deeper into the West Bank, leaving about 20,000 Palestinians stranded on the Israeli side of the fence.

The new route would encompass two Jewish settlements. Palestinian officials have condemned the plan as an attempt to annex territory.

The office of Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, denied a report in Haaretz, the Israeli daily newspaper, that the new route had already been approved, saying Olmert had only ordered officials to look into the possibility.

The theft of Palestinian land continues and grows. This is not unlike what we did to the Native Americans. The difference, however, is that (so far, at least) the Palestinians are not massively dying off of diseases. In fact, they are multiplying rather rapidly. So the population continues to grow even as the land they are left with continues to shrink. Sooner or later, something will have to give.
