Human Rights and the Plight of Anti-Wall Activists in Israel

The separation wall built by Israel at the West Bank has become a widespread issue of controversy. This is because the wall does not adhere to the border determined between Israel and the West Bank in 1967. Apparently built to ward off suicide bombers, 85% of the wall goes through the West Bank rather than on the Border Line. This has restricted movement of Palestinian residents, separating them from their lands; thereby violating international humanitarian law.
