Yet much of the planned 370-mile fence, 100 miles of which is already complete, cuts inside the West Bank and runs through Palestinian land.

That's not the problem. The problem is that the land "annexed" with the fence does not include all of the West Bank.

Building the fence here now will allow the Palis to claim the remaining portions of the West Bank as "theirs" from now on.

That wouldn't exactly solve the security issue, would it? Unless of course one advocates "transfer", a policy which would force the US to cut off all aid to Israel and would begin an all-out war.
