What's preposturous is the way you can't argue a point without constantly misrepresenting the issue. There's nothing inhuman about constructing the wall per se, although in all likelihood it would never have been necessary if Israel hadn't planted religious fanatics like Baruch Goldstein in Arab communities in the first place. The problem is WHERE the wall is being built, well beyond Israel's borders and cutting off Palestinian towns from vital services. The wall is presented as a purely protective measure when in actual fact it is also being used to pre-empt a future negotiated settlement and cement Israel's landgrab of Palestinian territory.
