The Separation Barrier in the West Bank (May 2005)
A new map published by the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem in May 2005. The current route of the separation barrier is the primary cause of human rights violations in the area. Although the route was ostensibly based on security considerations, extraneous reasons, among them the desire to route the barrier east of the settlements and land intended for their expansion, also played a role. These extraneous considerations are improper and cannot justify the violation of Palestinian human rights.
