The wall – again.
“The security benefits touted by defenders of Israel’s barrier are illusory at best. Those who profess concern for Israeli security are dangerously mistaken if they believe that building a combination of concrete walls and electrified fences around Palestinians in the West Bank will end suicide bombings and enhance Israel’s overall security. Not only will it fail in the short term, as history has shown it will likely lead to even more daring and devastating forms of violence, not less.”
One would think these points don’t need repeating, but I keep getting mail from Jewish organizations berating the “one-sided” stand of the UN “against” Israel. One wonders: is it because these Jewish organizations hate Israel so much that they continue to blindly support any self-destructive move on the part of Israel’s government?
