Heck, even I could penetrate that poor excuse for a fence. In any event, it is about time.

What BOGUS healine! The Berlin wall was meant to keep the population of a country and and city from getting out. I thought these lefties wanted a Pale state? States have borders between them.

It is about time the Israelis recognized that those people living there are the enemy and foreign to Israel and treat them as aliens. They can not come bomb Israel if Israel establishes a border between them. That would also defacto give the Pale's a state and then IF they continue to attack Israel, Israel is within its rights to go take out the government, ie Arafat!

Many objectionable phrases in this left-slanting article. However, when it comes to "messianic fervor," a term intended to discredit the proponents of the protective fence, that term would better be applied to the incredible self - delusionary Oslo "peace process," which in spite of all the evidence to the contrary from the very first day, was believed by the Israeli and Jewish left to be about to usher in a millenial state of peace.

The "Berlin Wall"??? Excuse me?

Since when is building a wall to protect your population from the influx of maniacs who attack and murder them almost daily.... the moral equivalent to the Berlin Wall which was built for the purpose of imprisoning an entire population and preventing them from seeking freedom?

The moral confusion of the British press is amazing.

It was described by Palestinian spokesmen as entrenching South African-style apartheid.

As opposed to the vision of a Palestinian state, which embodies Judenrein, Jew-free National socialism.

The 'whites' will be in Tel Aviv and the 'blacks' will be in the West Bank," said Mohammed Dahlan, a retired Palestinian security chief.

No Mr. Dahlan, that's not it at all. The Israelis will be in Tel Aviv and the Palestinians will be in the West Bank. The Palestinians are not being fenced in, they are being fenced OUT. They are perfectly free to wander where ever they want in their own portion, they can travel to Jordan or any other country, provided they travel through proper checkpoints on public transportation that will not be permitted to stop in Israel for any reason whatever. They are free to trade among themselves, to build their businesses, coin their own money, pursue their own futures, but that future will NOT include exploding children. At least not in Israel.

Fence, heck. Build a 10-ft wall with razor wire on the top.

[Pushi]

Isn't it an un-Berlin, or non-Berlin, wall? It is to keep people out, not keep people in.
