Now there's a dog bites man headline.

How amusing that the Palestinians accuse the Israelis of racism. There is much more tolerance for Palestinians working and living in Israel than there is for jews living and working in Palestinians Authority controlled territories.


What are you talking about, man? Israelis don't want to live and work in the WB or Gaza. And as for Palestinians, they do all the dirty work that the Israelis don't want to do.

The wall may indeed make a negotiated settlement harder to achieve. I don't know. But the wall is not a political instrument; it is a defense structure, designed to protect the population from attack.

Why not fix the reason for the attacks instead of building a 20 foot high wall?

I live only a few miles from the Canadian border. If the Canadians were ever to rise up against the US, to send suicide bombers into the US, to lob mortar shells over the border into the US, you can dang well bet I would expect the government to start protecting the border in whatever way was necessary.

And you see a wall as a solution?
