Meanwhile, these articles from +972 (+972 is a blog-based web magazine that is jointly owned by a group of Israeli journalists and bloggers. The writers’ goal is to provide fresh, original, on-the-ground reporting and analysis of events in Israel and the Palestinian territories.)

deemed it illegal, the state began to dismantle the fence in Bil’in. Next

Court of Justice in The Hague – only this time with a seal of approval
from the judges in Jerusalem.
