I think the ICJ is correct-- the Israeli wall is a land grab, a ghetto barrier, and an act of apartheid. They wouldn't need it if they'd stop oppressing the Palestinians. The intifada is a collective act of resistance, after all. It didn't arise out of some vacuum of unjustified and irrational hatred for Israelis-- it's a response to what the Israelis have done to the Palestinians. Israelis can't face the consequences of their treatment of the Palestinians, so they seek to hide the evidence behind a tall wall. Well, it worked in Warsaw, at least for a while.
