A protestor paints the slogan 'Revolution' on a section of a concrete fence which separates Israel from the West Bank, during a demonstration against its construction in the West Bank city of Qalqilya, July 31, 2003. Israel and the Palestinians failed to agree terms for handing control of two West Bank cities back to the Palestinians, further stalling efforts to implement a U.S.-backed peace plan.

This is an aerial view showing a fence Israel is building to separate Israeli controlled areas, right, from Palestinian areas in the northern West Bank, left, as seen Tuesday July 29, 2003. The first 245 kilometre (150 mile) barrier that frequently veers deep into the West Bank, and Israel says is intended to prevent suicide bombers infiltrating from West Bank Palestinian towns and cities, is actually cutting off thousands of Palestinians from their land and jobs on the other side of the fence. Palestinians accuse Israel of using the fence, which is built largely on thousands of acres of seized Palestinian farm land, to annex territory in the absence of a final peace agreement.

An aerial view shows a portion of the security fence which will separate Israel from the West Bank, near the West Bank city of Tulkarm, July 30, 2003. Israel pushed ahead Wednesday with construction of the barrier despite Palestinian dismay and Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites)'s pledge to keep pressing on the issue. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) failed in talks Tuesday to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) to stop building what Israel says is a security fence and Palestinians call a new 'Berlin Wall.'

Palestinian farmers tend to their aubergine crop in the shadow of a concrete wall erected across their land by the Israeli army to stop Palestinian militants slipping into Israel from the West Bank city of Qalqilya July 7, 2003. Palestinians fear the barrier, consisting of walls and electronic fences now stretching around 150 kms (90 miles), will dash their dream of a viable state in the West Bank, the goal of a new U.S.-backed peace plan.

The first 245 kilometre (150 mile) barrier that frequently veers deep into the West Bank, and Israel says is intended to prevent suicide bombers infiltrating from West Bank Palestinian towns and cities, is actually cutting off thousands of Palestinians from their land and jobs on the other side of the fence.

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo.

With all the money that's poured into--and will pour into--the West Bank and Gaza, you'd think they'd be able to get jobs created by their own folks instead of relying on the hated JOOS to give them jobs.
