Chet Richards reviews Martin Van Creveld's [Defending Israel] ISBN:0312328664 which supports the idea of a Wall, though one with a different design: This means withdrawing virtually all the settlements from the West Bank and absolutely all of them from Gaza and building a wall "so high a bird can't fly over it." This produces two well-defined geographical entities with fairly short borders (much shorter than current Israeli plans for the wall would entail.) It would also remove the 120 or so settlements, which now require more force to protect than Israel used to defeat Egypt in the 1967 war. An interesting thought for creating IsraelI/Palestin Ian peace. Also discusses potential Clean Water problems.
