Titolo: Il "muro" o "barriera"

Visto che Arduino ha tirato in ballo, a sproposito as usual, la questione
del "muro" (o "barriera", in inglese si discute molto se chiamarlo "wall"
o "fence", visto che in diversi tratti la barriera non ha pareti materiali
ma solo elettroniche), posto il link ad un interessante ed equilibrato
articolo su Ha'aretz di oggi, e quindi alcuni sognificativi stralci.
In sostanza l'articolista scrive che ne' Bush ne' i palestinesi possono
opporsi alla costruzione di una barriera che possa aumentare la sicurezza
di Israele e rendere meno probabili attentati che metterebbero in pericolo
la Road Map, ma la disputa con Bush ha avuto il grosso merito di mettere
dei paletti sul tracciato della barriera, rendendo chiaro che in nessun
modo questa deve diventare un mezzo per cambiare i confini tra Israele e
stato palestinese a negoziati aperti.

Alcuni brani interessanti:
"Israel's dispute with the United States has a positive side. When Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon agrees to change the route of the fence - and he
will agree - it will serve as a clear sign from him to the Israeli public,
and especially to the settlers, that Israel cannot agree to indirectly
annex large sections of Palestinian territory.
When the Americans refuse to back down on their demands concerning the
fence's route, this will send a clear message to Israel that there can be
no return to the tricks carried out after the Oslo agreements were signed:
the creation of facts on the ground that affect the outcome of the
negotiations. By taking the stand he is taking on the fence's route,
President George Bush is in fact saying that he views the 1967 border as
the
future border, more or less, between Israel and the Palestinian state."

"The settlers have demonstrated a great deal of ingenuity in this dispute.
When the idea of the fence began to take shape, they opposed it, just like
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. They realized that it represented the
beginning of the separation of Israel within the Green Line from the
settlements."
(cut)
"Therefore, instead of opposing the fence, they changed their tactics and
demanded that the fence include them, too. By doing so, they brought about
a change in the fence's route and the creation of enclaves within
Palestinian territory. Sharon supported them - and when Israel's position
crossed the line, it caused Washington to come out against Israel."

Ancora Ha'aretz sul problema del percorso della "barriera":
http://tinyurl.com/ipid
L'articolo prende le mosse da un report internazionale (promosso dal
quartetto e dalla banca mondiale) sull'impatto che la costruzione del muro
ha sulla popolazione palestinese, soprattutto dal punto di vista economico.
Uno stralcio:
"The report on the first phase of construction warns of the changes that
the Defense Ministry instituted in the path of the fence in the
Jenin area, including a 12-km. intrusion into Palestinian territory to
include the settlements of Homesh and Mevo Dotan on the Israeli side of
the fence. 
The primary focus of the report is the initial Palestinian reaction to the
fence. About 12,000 Palestinians in 15 villages will be imprisonedbetween
the fence and the Green Line, and many of them will be cut off from social
services, schools and their own agricultural lands &#8211; in addition to
the lands confiscated from them so that the fence could be built in the
first place, the report found."
