a linguist should be more careful with his words. 95% of the "wall" is a fence and its placement protects the "settlers" only if you consider the citizens of israel as settlers since it separates the territories from israel. the vast majority of the "palestinian nation" lives in jordan and isn't at risk. palestine as a country has never existed. hamas and iran have not "explicitly" accepted a 2 state solution. hamas's charter is dedicated to the destruction of israel. ahmdinejad's statements are well known. israel is far from perfect but its existence is a fact that must be accepted. negotiations can only proceed on that basis. the actions of the arab countries suggest dissonance on this point despite chomsky's spin.
