Read again. There is Palestinian land that is being made into enclaves by declaring this land as part of the settlement block, which is only possible if that land is inside the same block. How is it possible that there is Palestinian owned land inside the wall?Yes, it did move. The general vicinity of "Gush Etzion settlement bloc" is not a clearly defined border. What matters is whether the land is by Israel considered "state land" or not, because Israel has a policy that any outposts in Palestinian privately owned land are illegal and are eventually going to be dismantled (yeah right!), but the ones in "state land" may be legitimized. By changing the border so that the outposts now reside inside "state land" effectively opens the door for legalizing their status as has been done for several other such outposts within the last decade.
And did you miss the part about this making the Palestinian-owned land into enclaves? This would not be possible if the border did not change. Unless of course you think the "border" is really the entirety of the West Bank and that Israel can take whatever land it wants.
Anything labeled a "settlement block" is inside the wall.
I notice, that you have failed to show where the actual border is supposed to be (though in all fairness, neither has the state of Israel declared any border). How can you claim that the border has not moved, if you don't even know where the border is?
