Yahoo, May 18, 2005 (Category designation: Israel > Israeli West Bank Barrier) Wikipedia, May 18, 2005 ("Israeli West Bank barrier (also called the 'West Bank Security Fence' or 'West Bank Wall' by its opponents) is a physical barrier consisting of a network of fences, walls and trenches, which is being constructed by Israel. The barrier in part approximately follows the 1949 Jordanian-Israeli armistice line, also known as the 'Green Line.' In some areas the route diverges from this line, particularly in areas with a high concentration of Jews. Jerusalem, Ariel, Beitar Illit, Gush Etzion, and Maale Adumin. These divergences may be as much as 20 km. On Feb. 18, 2005 the Israeli cabinet approved a new route for the barrier which would leave approx. 7% of the West Bank and 10,000 Palestinians on the Israeli side. The name of the barrier is itself a political issue. The most common names used by Israel are "Separation Fence" (Gader ha'hafrade in Hebrew) and "Security Fence" or Anti-terrist fence" in English, with "Seam zone" referring to the land surrounding the fence. Opponents prefer to call it a "wall." Palestinians and their supporters at times refer to the barrier as an 'Apartheid Wall'") Israel Ministry of Defense web site, May 16, 2005 (Israel's Security Fence; Security Fence) BBCNews web site, May 16, 2005 (Q&A: What is the West Bank barrier? The West Bank barrier has been highly controversial ever since the Israeli government decided to build it in 2002 ... Wall? Fence? What exactly is this structure? It is in fact part-wall, part-fence. Most of its 640-kilometre (440-mile) length is made up of a concrete base with five-metre-high wire-and-mesh superstructure.)
