MIDEAST-PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-RALLY-BARRIER-BILIN
An Israeli soldier points his rifle towards Palestinian, foreign and Israeli peace activists as they rally following the lack of any change, a month after the Israeli Supreme Court ordered that part of the controversial separation barrier being built by Israel be rerouted, in the occupied West Bank village of Bilin, 19 October 2007.The barrier is a combination of concrete walls and wire fences running more than 650 kilometres (400 miles) north to south that Israel says is necessary to protect it self from Palestinian militants. However, large sections of it encroach on the West Bank, and the Palestinians call it a land grab. The International Court of Justice issued a non-binding ruling in 2004 that parts of the barrier in the West Bank are illegal and should be removed. The barrier is supposed to follow the Green Line that marks Israel's borders before the 1967 Six Day War, when the Jewish state captured the Golan Heights, east Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
