| Abstract: | If the separation wall between Israel and Palestine is placed within its historical context, then this shows that optimistic perceptions of the wall as a step towards peace are misplaced. The wall forms part of an older strategy linked to an overall Zionist and Israeli vision of imposing a settlement on the conflict by the use of force. This strategy aims at erasing the concept of Palestine out of memory and reality. It is argued that from 1948 onwards, Israeli state actions have gradually implemented the objective of the de-Arabization of Palestine. The aim of the wall is not so much to prevent suicide bombers, which it will not do, but to wipe out Palestine altogether. The world needs to wake up to these human rights violations before it is too late. |
