Good Article on the Israeli barrier

Recommended Posts

I don't think it was a good article, because it didn't really cover the alternate side of the issue. Personally I'm "pro-wall", I think building walls between nations is needed from time to time, but I prefer a less biased coverage of it.

I don't know where I stand on this issue....not really my issue to worry about. But that article was slanted as hell.

Yes, the fence causes some hardship to Palestinians. Some are separated from their fields, some schoolchildren have to walk much farther to class.



Yeah, like 40 miles. Not to mention people who need dialysis or other frequent medical treatment.

What makes the travesty complete is that this denial of Israel's right to defend itself because doing so might violate ``humanitarian" rights was read in open court by the chief judge representing China, a government that massacred hundreds of its own citizens demonstrating peacefully in Tiananmen Square.



Yeah, and we commited genocide against native americans, guess we shouldn't condemn anyone either.

For example, throughout the opinion it refers to the barrier as a ``wall.'' In fact, over 93 percent of its length consists of fences, troughs and electronic devices to prevent terrorist infiltration.



And the point is? I don't think anyone's concerned about the materials used.
