At the head of a seven-member congressional delegation's fact-finding trip to the Middle East, U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) said that Israel's security fence "is an important contributor to the reduction of acts of terrorism." McCain assured his Israeli hosts that they would be able to reach an agreement with the United States on the fence's route.
At a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom on Sunday, McCain said the fence "is important to the security of the State of Israel and it was also raised between President Bush and Prime Minister Sharon. Many of us in Congress feel it is an important contributor to the reduction of acts of terrorism.
"The Oslo accord failed because it was based on the premise that the Palestinian and Israeli peoples could live peacefully together. The security fence will test whether they can live peacefully apart," McCain said.

US/Israel?
I know he’s Jewish, but not all American Jews are also citizens of Israel.
fences don’t work, you refused a fence between U.S. and Mexico, why would it work for Israel?
Yea, but what do you really think? 8-)
yes he is.
One out of two ain’t bad. It’s a start.
Can you substantiate that?
From what others are saying, it's an internet rumor they haven't been able to support.
If you can clear the waters with some actual facts, it would be much appreciated.
I have read in numerous places about Chertoff he is a dual citizen with Israel.

It’s all over. Turn off the lights on your way out.
Yet McMoron won’t build a fence in his home state of AZ
Juan McCain!

Come, now. We're looking for actual facts. Not yet more hearsay, anecdotes or rumors.
Yep, that's the irony.
And yet he somehow gets to claim the mantle of Strong on National Defense.
To say that the situation in Israel is the SAME as the situation here is somewhat disingenuous. The Israelis are at WAR with their neighbor. A neighbor that has stated that they want to see Israel erased form the face of the earth.
I haven’t seen where Mexico has made it their position that they want to nuke us into oblivion.
While I in no way support our open border policy, they situations are VERY different.
Of course we will be paying to build our fence on mexicos southern border which will become our southern border.

Dear God. Help us!
Just heard on Rush that we're sending le over a billion to Mexico to help them secure their southern border.
Thank you, Jorge Bush!
Something is dreafully wrong with George Bush.
